just found this thread

munty, as if I would attach a shopping trolley to it :roll: mind you the make up mirror might be an idea....

seriously though, it works a treat on our clay soil, well OH says it does as it's his job to use it. We tried it out on Saturday and it worked really well, half hour work dug over what takes me around 4 hours and that was going over twice just to make sure it was really well dug over. Then we ran out of petrol so stopped in the plan of returning Sunday to continue, now it hasn't stopped raining since. Hopefully if it stays dry this weekend the whole plot will be dug over and ready for planting later on in the spring.

Can someone tell me how much one of these things costs and where is the best place to get one. This would make life so much easier as I've just got hubby started on the decorating at the moment and it looks like I'm going to be doing all the digging at the lottie!

has it shaun? I wouldn't know what it's meant to look like!

It worked well without them but might be worth buying some if I can find where to get them.

Angel....we bought that one off ebay, keep looking they come up all the time.

see mr russels leonie he has the extra set of tines (2 on each side) you can take the outer ones off to go between rows etc

Ah, the old 'bucking broncs' as we called them. Only 7ft tall biker thugs could handle them so most of us switched to rear tined tillers. Life is SO much easier now. Hope yours are easier to work than ours were

They are an aquired skill but once you get the leg adjusted right its not to bad.
