Merry tillers are very popular and and very good machines. Loads of attachments for them too. From mower to plough.
always have a target
and an objective.

Honda F220 bought on Ebay for £240-00, only had 1 days work, new cost would be £599-00. Too good to miss!
Always look ahead, there are no regrets in that direction

I just cant believe it, no machines at all, not even get a neighbour to rotavate the plot through. A lot of spare time on their hands is all I can say. Or only have small plots.

Why? If this is to be a fair poll, we need BOTH sides to own up - wouldn't want you to be accused of bias would we, Frankie?? :lol:  :lol:

The evidence is in front of you and your assumptions are incorrect. I've got 2 full size plots (300ish sq m each) & one half plot & I don't live down there, although I think at times Mrs. DD would like me to!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I got a Mantis. But I wouldn't call it a baby just cus its small. It does much more than my 'full-sized' one used to!!!!

Oooops, can't fathom this pics lark...but there she is anyway, my shiny new rotavator  :oops:
Had to fit new tank, but apart from that everything works fine.


Oh, it's a Qualcast Cultimatic Super.

Haven't had the nerve to use it yet though, it looks mean and I worry for my feet  :lol:
