The ground is very hard clay in my garden so I would like to get a rototiller that can deal as easily as possible with it.
I recently rented a smaller Troybilt and it took many passes and was very hard work to hold it down so it would actually dig. I also found it dangerous as it dragged me away when it hit bits of harder ground. I adjusted the depth trying to find a sweet spot for the ground, but sadly it does not exist. Even after the soil was pulverized it would still occasionally find a hard spot and launch itself.
The Husqvarna's seem to have the best reputation in the under $1000 market, so I have been reading more about them and have narrowed the search to two models:
CRT900LS
DRT900H
The DRT models have the best reviews and a great reputation for breaking new ground.
The CRT models according to manufacturer specs are designed to work better at breaking new ground, but reviews are scarce.
The only difference I can find is tine direction. Could someone explain this in more detail and why one would be better than the other?
