I looked at a couple of tillers yesterday and I'm going to make a purchase soon. One is a Woods that has the ability to offset, and the other is a Sitrex that doesn't offset. I don't have model numbers to share (can't find the notes I took) but they are both 5', chain driven, slip clutch.
Long story short, I think the Sitrex looks beefier than the Woods. Both look to be high quality tillers and they were both the same price, with the Woods being made in the USA. And like I said, the Woods can be offset, but I'm not sure if I will ever use that function.
So, what are some of your experienced opinions? Which would you purchase if given the choice, since they are both the same price? I always try to buy USA made when I can, but this is a tough call because I can't find anything NOT to like about either of them, other than the Sitrex has been on the lot longer and some of the decals are peeling, but I don't particularly care about that.
Anyway if any of you could share experiences or opinions it would be appreciated.
