I have been contemplating getting a tiller for my BX23 and was wondering what I should be looking for. I know there are chain and gear drive tillers - is one 'better' than the other? I have seen both offset and non offset styles also. I have also seen tillers with differing amounts of tines on the rotating shaft. Are any brands better than any others? I have seen Howard Rotovator, Woods, and CCM all get good comments here on tractorbynet. The soil I would be working is fairly dense loam that can contain some pretty big rocks just below the surface. There would also be the occasional tree root to contend with.
