[IMG]http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImage/20d982af-9d36-4005-adec-cbc78e28612f_300.jpg[/IMG]

Not a pony tiller or anything too fancy (it does have reverse though)but still a back saver for my sure to come expansions.

What a lucky guy you are! Have fun with it.

Thanks. My wife and I truley enjoy our gardening hobby.

Did she bring it down the chimney? :lol: And my wife gets upset if I buy her a power tool for Christmas>

I'm thinking about getting this one.
I have read the reviews on it and most are good and one or two are bad.
You will always find someone that can tear something up.

This one has tines that go forward or backward.

I am fortunate with my wife, she doesn't like diamonds, or flowers.
She likes football, gardening, Toyota 4x4's. And power tools:yes:

That's a nice tiller. Great for breaking new ground. You can do alot of square footage with that. Mine digs very deep but takes longer to break new ground. Regardless anything with a reverse is nice.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Bryan you have a nice tiller we had one like that when I was little and it lasted us for many years.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I think we had about 1 1/2 acres we tilled with the thing including rocks.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]My dad had stellite hard surface welded onto the tines to make them last longer.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I will do the same thing to mine after a year or two.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I think I might be able to till other gardens with the tiller too.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]For the life of me I can’t figure out why they like us.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]They are in my sights to spread the word on heirloom tomato gardening.[/FONT]

Bryan, that is an awesome present! Looks like a very well made piece of machinery. I have a front-tine 3.75 hp Craftsman I bought on clearance 10 years ago and it starts every year on the first pull. And I don't have reverse...that would be nice. Almost everyone says the rear-tine is better for large areas, and I'm sure that is correct. But for what I need that front-tine is just fine. You will love yours. Happy tilling!

I wish Santa had brought me such front tine tiller!

I have a 5 hp Troy-Built Bronco which has the tines on back and they are rotating same direction as the wheels. Using it is like taming a wild horse, since it easily starts running away. That beast is so heavy and seems to be reasonably well built so it will unfortunately last me a long time, before I can ask for a new one...

Thank you all. I couldn't ask for better people to associate with than fellow Tomato growers.
