Let me know how it does. I've returned every tiller I've ever bought. For me they always ended up looking way better than they worked. There's a Honda one I end up renting every year from Home Depot, but it's way out of my price range currently. I just can't throw down $800 on a tiller I need once a year.On a related note, I bought a new tiller yesterday. Looked at several brands, but fell in love with a Husqvarna...has a Honda engine which has to be a good thing -looks very durable and also has forward and reverse tine ability. I think this is going to be a great machine and can't wait to put it to the test in the next couple of weeks.
You will be happy with the reverse tine option, especially if you are breaking tough ground.

It doesn't but I'm not a Dixie Chopper fan anyway. They're more style over substance. Walker mowers on the other hand, they have things you wouldn't expect from a mower too, but they're definitely pricey. To my knowledge, it's the only mower that can clear a lot, plant trees, rake your yard, grade land, spray chemicals, spread seed and fertilizer, edge your yard, till your yard, dethatch your yard, dig trenches for a sprinkler system, haul supplies, and cut your grass.Yes Ex, the Dixie Chopper is great, but does it have a 7100 W Generator or be used like an ATV? No! (hey, just cuz its from Lowes doesnt mean its not good!) (LOL, just teasing, I LOVE the Dixie Chopper, but honestly can never afford one. )
Cool concept, but from what I'm reading, it has a few flaws, mostly as an atv. They mentioned it only has suspension in the front, so ride quality as an ATV is lacking. Also noted it is useless on a grade in high gear. The brushless motors they use are common in the mobility industry. It's like a big power wheel chair only with a gen set. They mention that the system is similar to modern locomotives.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BQBLNvWwUA[/media]
