Hi Brian,

I have a Kuhn EL32 that I bought in 2002 which I have been very pleased 
with.  The only issue I have is that the tines wear fairly quickly and I 
end up replacing them every 18 months or so.  You'll find that the 
tiller will prepare a nice seedbed, but it is very slow. 

Last season, I started using a 6 tine cultivator or 5' disk plow to prep 
the ground for my second planting in a bed.  These are both considerably 
faster and did a good job for me.
