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?
