What implement to use in garden?

- why a tiller ? -

Quick and easy, you're done in a couple passes.

You can also back right up to fencelines on the row ends. In general less turning and run-out area required.

It chops your garden residue in a single pass in the fall.

You do it all with one lash-up and don't have to change implements to complete your cultivation.

It uses more diesel but for a smaller area you come out ahead because it's so quick and you're not making as many passes.

Tiller HP required about 1 hp per inch of tiller width. When the tiller gets mounted it's offset so it covers your tracks on (usually) the starboard side.

Howard was a real good tiller. I looked a Rhino awhile back and it looked pretty heavily built too.

Best of luck.

Tillers are hard on the tractor engine. I have lots of rocks. In my opinion, tillers don't go as deep as a cultivator or plow w/disk would. If not careful, a tiller will cause a condition I think is called "hard pan" This is compaction below the topsoil.
