I have 2 garden plots, 1 30x40 and 1 20x125. I am SICK of small, slow, awkward residential sized garden tillers. I have 2 front tine models, which work fine if you have lots of time to spend tilling your garden, which I don't. I also have a Troy-built Econo-horse rear tine tiller given to me by a family member. This thing is a boat anchor. The tines rotate in the same direction as the machine moves, which means every time it finds a root or an area of compacted soil it jumps up on top of the soil and wants to propel itself across the garden at a speed matching the tine speed. Worthless. It is fine if the soil is already loose, but what good is a tiller that only works in soil that doesn't need to be tilled. I've looked at 3-point tractor models, but the cost of a well built model is rather high for personal use, and since I have a WD-45, a wide model is required which puts it in the 3-4 thousand dollar range. Anyone have a rear-tine powerful tiller that handles heavy soil and sod? I've found an older roto-hoe model that looks pretty beefy, but having never used one, I don't want another machine that isn't up to the task. Suggestions? Thanks.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
