when my children were in elementary school i bought and repaired a lot of tillers. always tried to keep a good one for the garden.
when i was in high school, our first tiller was an otasco wizard brand made by mtd i think. always had good luck with the b&s engines and honda engines. sears had good tillers also, built by mtd.
stuff now appears to be mightly light. an 8hp rear-tined Honda would be the prize, but plenty pricey.
