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
Having used both in extremely rocky Spokane Valley soil I can say without
hesitation, front tine tillers are very difficult to use in very rocky
conditions. The tiller tends to bounce and the handles do a good job of
beating the operator.
Rear tines still bounce but not nearly as much and are much easier on the
operator. I never had one catch a rock in such a way as to destroy the
tiller.
