Not at all. By all means buy a second hand antique. just don't USE it.

Brian is very pleased with his Howard Graham!!!!  Except he did have a little gear problem trying to cut thourgh some VERY hard ground in my polytunnel last week!!!

I'd say get a used Honda. Engines go on fer ever and they are quite well built. Howards are probably OK (never used one) as long as the smoky old Villiers or JAP has been replaced with a Honda unit, but the money they command second-hand is horrendous!

Sorry to hear the Massey was not up to much.We are looking for a decent machine , anyone have any views on the Apache RTT3 rear tine tiller ? or suggestions please .

[GrannieAnnie]

LOL Browser, you sound just like Gwiz!!!  Ours hasn't got a villiers or Jap engine.  It's got a Kohler!  good engines so brian says!

We were lucky as we got it for £150.  Most similar ones go for up to £300.  When we picked it up the man said oh I was hoping to get more for it (but it did have a few little problems!)

What was he expecting, that we'd offer to pay more for it??? lol
