    Got a medium-sized rototiller, A Troy-built, the only problem is it wont work, my huney tells me it doesnt seem to be getting gas in it (he's done everything to get it to run, so I dont know if we'll be getting this running soon or not.

    :-(

    Mine likes to pull the rear plug out of the Harley when she rides it in the garage.

    And she don't have to get her hands dirty..[:D]

    ...We use a Troy-Built for initial deep tilling. We had a Ryobi that lasted a few years, until the bronze gears gave up. For what they cost, I bought another one that now has about 5 years on it. It's only for tilling between rows.

    What ever happened to a good ol'fashioned "HOE"?
    Now, i like 2-stroke engines as much as the next guy, but, DAMN!!!
    Pop had a GRAVELY, back in the day, i believe it was 12 hp. Pulled a 7", single bottom plow. From there, it was HOE and GO!![;)][:D]

    I just bought one of those cultivator attachments for my weedeater. Used it today before planting some more corn and it worked real well. Of course, I just tilled it last month with the Troy Built so the ground is still soft.

    bought a rear tine, counter rotating troybuilt a few weeks back. Guy bought it, used it once, and let it sit for 2yrs. he payed $600,...I gave him $250 and cleaned out the carb,....good as the day she was new.

    Our garden is 15'x80'[8D] But the neghbors have been warned about the possibility of 22short reports since the damn rabbits have been out lately.

    I have had the attachment for years. I use my big rear tine tiller where I can and use the weed eater tiller when I have to cultivate the garden. Don

    I have a 4 stroke Honda Harmony. The way to go, it starts every year with less than attentive maintenance.

    I have a craftsman that was given to me. Only catch was it didn't have tines. Been trying to find some; they are of the 8" variety. Anyone have any extra they wouldn't mind parting with? I'd buy and pay shipping.
