I've got a brandy spankin new 1.5 - 2 acres of cleared stump land waiting to become a horse paddock. Time is NOW for tilling it.
The PHD Dillema: (PHD = post hole digger)
Pay from 1.5k to 3k for a new tiller used for 2 acres and no needed use for it later (like a post hole digger) OR
Try and find a used one that hasn't been churned into scrap which could take months! (So far, i've not seen any local tillers turn up in the usual search venues) OR
Rent one. This is the best option except for one thing: NO ONE SEEMS TO RENT TILLERS (they get beat up too bad to make it economical I suspect). Sometimes ya have ta call 20 outfits - I've only called 13 of em.
I could hire my large equipment man to do this, but it will cost about what it would cost to buy a GOOD used device perhaps more and deprive me of some seat time and a large piece of personal satisfaction. I know if I asked him, he would lend me his tiller, but his tiller is a Class III unit and much too large for my paltry Kubota.
I ruled out a box blade as it does not yield anywhere near the same result.
Wish Skurka was my neighbor .. he'd go havzeees on it with me - which could make the pain of ownership perhaps tolerable.
HELP!
