We are currently looking at tillers for our JD 4310 (25 PTO HP). We are particularly interested in the Howard line of tillers, including three models: HR-12 (4-tine chain drive), HR7HD (6-tine chain drive), and HR-12 (6-tine gear drive). Does anyone have experience with Howard tillers, particularly these models? Can you suggest prices you've been quoted for 55-60 inch models?
We will be using the tiller mainly for maintaining a medium-large (approx. 1/3 acre) garden, with occasional breaking of sod for new ground in an orchard. Comments on going with a cheaper chain-drive unit, or going for a more-expensive gear-drive unit?
Finally, for anyone with a Howard tiller in Washington or Oregon, could you suggest a dealer (preferably Western Washington or Oregon)?
Many thanks.
