Re: Tiller!

Yes, I can walk backwards with mine too which is GREAT. Like you, I
don't like stepping all over what I just tilled up! Kind of defeats the
purpose, ya know?

A friend of mine had a Ryobi; I didn't like it either. One thing I
specifically like about the Mantis - and some other small tillers do this
too I think - is that you walk backwards with it so you don't step on what
you've just tilled. Another thing about the Mantis - I prefer the shape of
their tines to those used on any other small tiller I've seen. I don't know
anything about the Troybilt, but it sounds like it's perfect for you.
