Market Farming

[Allan Balliett <igg AT igg.com>]

I know, I know, but...

If you hadn't heard before, I'm moving to new ground this fall. This 
means I've got to move through lots of sod, one way or the other. 
After several years with a spading machine, I'm pretty happy to think 
about working with at tiller again.  This is not an endorsement of 
tilling, this is just me saying that what I'm doing with soil will 
more than compensate for the damage I do when tilling at startup time.

I've been using a troybilt Horse model. It's about had the course, 
needing a new carb and new tines and, really, a new rearend. For the 
cost of those repairs, I should get the type of tiller that I should 
have bought in the first place.

I'm looking at the BCS line. I'm also looking for other 
recommendations. Someone said GOLDINI, but I'm not familiar with 
those machines. What else?

Of course, I'm interested in hearing about well-cared-for machines 
that are for sale.

I'm very interested in hearing of the experiences of others with any 
of these machines.

My own application is gardening for market in four acres-worth of 
'raised beds' in Loudoun County, VA.

Thanks -Allan
