Buying a rear tine tiller

17 years ago

Hello Everyone

I've been trying to read and do research on buying a rear tine rototiller now for about a month before I actually go and make the purchase. Currently I own a 5hp King rototiller that is powered by a Briggs engine. This battle beast is about 20 years old and now that I am about 20 years older, I'm looking for a rear tine tiller. It would probably only need to work a garden about 50 x 100 feet that is clay loam a couple of times a year.

I'm leaning towards the Husqvarna 650RTT as it is relatively small and inexpensive. Also, I would be supporting a local dealer. Does anyone out there have any opinions of this tiller. I have a Husqvarna chainsaw that is about 15 years old that gets a lot of use and I think it is a really good product.

I am a little gun shy about buying as I thought I did a lot of research in the fall before buying my Ariens DLE 1332 snowblower and was really disappointed with the controls, fit and finish, parts falling off, missing, freezing etc. I didn't ask for any advice on that purchase, so I am looking for some honest advice on this one. If anyone has any advice I'm more than willing to listen.

Thanks in advance.
