Need advise. I am in the market for a 72" tiller and would like input.
Is 4 or 6 tines per flange better and what about reverse rotation? Also, I don't want to buy a tiller I can't get parts for. I use this tiller to till gardens, and prepare flower beds and to rip up yards to replant. Our soil can vary from sandy to hard clay. Also, is the friction clutch better then shear pin setups (I'm tired of replacing pins)? What about gear vs chain drive?
I currently have a 60 inch Agri-tec tiller with a shear pin setup and chain drive. The tiller does a fine job in fresh earth, but struggles in hard pack and sod. Also, it is a lighter tiller, so it bounces a good bit in harder ground.
I need a tiller that can handle the conditions I put it in, any thoughts?
