I had a 3hp Merry tiller with front tines from 1979 to 1984.
I had a 6 hp Ariens tiller with rear tines from 1984 to 2000.

Now I am in the suburbs. I spent the day yesterday tilling with a rake.


Anything would be better than a rake.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
