Better Boys are what we get the best yields from. They work well for canned soup and salsa, sandwiches, salads, and eating straight from the vine.

What I need is a new roto-tiller, and a recommendation for one that will last longer than a couple of years. My last one was an on sale model from Tractor Supply, whatever brand it was, and it was junk. I took it to a shop and told them to keep it, if they would, and they did, for various parts.
Find you an old Gravely.

I second the Gravely, but if they aren't common in your area, the rear tined Troy Built Horse and Pony tillers are strong units.

If you really want to drop some coin and have everyone in the neighborhood envy you, check out the BCS and Grillo units.
