What is it that you want to do?

The only use for that machine is after you have dug your bed, removed the weeds and roots and broken the soil to a fine tilth.

At this stage it might break things dowm to a slightly finer tilth after you have done all the hard work!

I wouldn't spend money one one. Maybe as a gift, but I doubt whether I'd use it.

Looking at the picture - I would not bother with it.  It does not look like it would do anything other than what my normal garden hand tools do.

I have one and use it to break down the soil into a fine tilth especially my pea drills.

It is also very good for weeding between rows.

I find it very useful.Had it for many years but cant remember where or how much I paid for it.....but I know it wasnt much.

hI, SAVE YOUR MONEY,  if you want a good tiller i recomend the Mantis Tiller
they make fantastic seed beds and excellent for weeding between rows, however i have to say you need a clean garden to start with because theyrotate at such speeds has to chop up all your perenial weeds into hundreds of pieces

I use the same as plot69 and it is the rear blade that makes the difference ,could not see one on the  ebay pic.
