Husqvarna Tiller - Safe Bet?

[mikester]

I'm looking at a used rear tine husqvarna tiller that seems in decent shape. I've seen a lot of complaints about husqvarna mowers being basket cases. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about this tiller?

I have one 22", with a Briggs and Stratton, one tine bent, hit the side guard. Removed side guard and has worked relatively good for me(with minor backwoods tinkering) for over 5yrs. I always shut fuel off and run it dry when I lay it up for extended time, change oil once a year, and grease the gear box (it has a fitting). Imo if the price is right it's a worthwhile handy tool in my experience with it.
