Hello Jerry and list,
>I AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD HEAVY DUTY ROTO TILLER FOR OUR MARKET GARDEN AND
NURSERY OPERATIONS
Although this is not really a direct answer to your question it may be of
general enough interest to be worth while. We are currently looking at a
tractor purchase for our farm and are also considering alternative equipment
either instead of, or in addition to, a full-size tractor. So your post
sparked my interest and while I was doing a search for info on the BCS walk
behinds one page lead to another and I came across one of the best
common-sense articles I have read on tractors and alternative equipment.
The sidebar "What are some alternatives to buying a tractor?"
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/kb13/ans_purch.htm
is probably most on target for your question.
The entire article is great. Navigation is a little annoying because it was
originally a print media article with sidebars, but is well worth the time
it takes to get around it.
The main article starts at: http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/kb13/big_whls.htm
If you are considering buying a tractor or other utility equipment, and
are anything short of an expert, this article is a must read.
PS: All caps is hard on the eyes and in some circles is considered the same
as yelling.
