Hi
I am one of the quieter members of this web page. I have a question about
rototillers. We have just a small garden and I may have convince my husband
on getting a small rototiller. We are not sure what to look for and so I
thought I would ask for help. We have received advertisements for the
mantis in the mail but have found it rather expensive. Today we went over
to Home Base and found two 2 horse power rototillers that would be perfect
but since neither of us knew what to look for we did not buy one. The two
we looked at today were the Murray and the Ryobi. Any suggestions? Thanks
for the help

Hi Janet,
When you say you have a small garden, I assume it is big enough for one
Giant Pumpkin?????? Maybe 500 to 1,000 square feet????? If it is that big, I
wouldn,t fool around with those little tillers....they are O.K. for weeding or
shallow tilling of a very small patch, but it will wear you out if you have to
go deep or do a medium sized patch. Pick up a used troybilt tiller (7hp) or so
for 5 or 6 hundred bucks.
