[Market-farming] tractor rotovators

I rented a reverse rotation tiller (Land pride) once. It used a lot
more engine power than similar sized forward rotation tillers and so
I needed to go much slower while using it. I did not notice any
difference in the quality of the job or how fluffy or finely tilled
the soil was.
After renting several tillers for short term use I purchased a
forward rotation tiller and have been pleased with that.
