Any suggestions as to which we should buy?
Clay soil, sometimes waterlogged at one end.
Prepared to pay if it's going to last.
Small enough for shed
Plot size 120 x 15ft.
Preferably in pink.  Only joking.

Thanks
 :)

Thanks everyone - sorry no replies earlier, been out - but I like the idea of Honda if it means it's going to last.  Found this - any good?

Get a proper one like the Merry Tillers that people have recommended.  Those Mantis toys aren't worth it.  Front tine is much better than rear.

I thought that was cheap - you can get some for around £1500 and they haven't even got aircon or alloy wheels.

Fantastic pics Sadgit (don't like your name though) - that one of the cat's nose - perfect.
You must be a real chilli expert.  Do you grow them in a greenhouse?  They're beautiful dare I say it.  

But the rotovator - looks mean.  Do you use it for mining? :wink:
