I've owned and ruined several rear tine tillers. The guards they put on the rear tine tillers trap rocks and it ends up destroying the tiller. I realize that rear tine tillers are easier to walk through, but would a front tine tiller be better in soil where rocks are present? Front tine tillers don't have those guards and therefore rocks just get kicked out. In a rocky environment, is there any preference?
