I have been looking at a 48-50" tiller to use on a scut. The dealers get from $1600 to $1850 for a new one. Brand names from JD to Woods, etc.
I have been letting my fingers do the walking and have found them from $850 (Northern Tool) to $1150 (delivered from Agri). A few others a hundred or so more, including CCMachinery.
My garden is 40 x 60 and will get larger with a new machine doing the work. Anything tilled up, whether flower beds or garden, will be from established lawn areas. Not going to till the woods or brush areas.
Soil is heavy clay, but my Mantis has been working it up for years. Just takes lots of time, and I have lots of time. I just want to do the time sitting rather than walking (its an age thing).
Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated. I don't mind spending the extra money if I am going to get something I need. Otherwise, I'd like to save a few dollars and apply them towards other implements.
