Does anyone have an opinion on a gear driven tiller vs a chain driven tiller?
My 25+ year old 6' tiller that just gave up had a chain driven drive with a number 80 chain that I changed several times during the course of its life. It wasn't too expensive and relatively easy to change. I am guessing that the gear drives might be tougher but harder to change and more expensive to repair but I don't know. I looked at a Tartar tiller at TSC this afternoon and was impressed by how well built it looked but I don't know much about the gear drives. I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks, ametcalf
