I just finished tilling about 7 acres of barely moist dry Texas dirt with quite a few rocks scattered in (and some not so scattered). Just counted that I started out with 32 tines on the tiller and now it only has 18. Didn't normally lift the tiller when turning and probably set it down pretty hard when I did lift it. Using an older Long tiller, I used to lose the blades because the lock nuts came off, but never had any trouble breaking blades. These broke near the flange they are bolted to around the tiller axis.
Maybe there is a reason that some tillers cost more than others. Any advice on tillers appreciated as I will probably buy a little larger size tiller. I believe this one tills 5 feet wide.
