Re: small tiller- great day today!

Cyndi,
No fear with this one.  I have a bad back and I can lift it out from behind
other things and start it up easily.  Alan thinks it is the male duty but
has a tendency to be domestic on occasions!  When he goes out on the
motorcycle I can sneak it out and get the area done I want.   Few bed have
expanded without his notice till he mows!
