Ya the more I think about it, the more I should maybe get a forward tiller. My dealer keeps trying to convince me to go reverse, saying it will bury rocks,roots, etc... but would roots and rocks possibly get stuck in the tiller ? Where as the forward would maybe spit them out the back ? Although I guess a forward could push the tractorin hard soil... ? I dunno
