- Does any one have any experience with the Troy-Bilt Tuffy? The bottom of the
- line 3-hp tiller.
-
- My garden consists of five hand dug 4' X 20' raised beds, which will be
- expanded to twice that size this winter. Basically, I am looking for a
- tiller that can turn my beds once or twice a year.
-
- My questions are:
-
- 1. Could the Mantis tiller handle the job? It is about $170 cheaper than
- the Troy-Bilt.
-
- 2. Would I do as well to keep turning the beds by hand and put my money in
- the bank?
