   I picked up an old 70's Gilson front tine tiller from the original owner   
   a few years ago.  For the $40 or $50 I paid for it, it was well worth   
   it, but I do wish it was a larger rear-tine unit.  With the front tine   
   ones, you have to do a lot more picking at the ground before tilling...   
   especially with the heavy clay soils around here.  I don't have enough   
   property at the moment to justify a bigger unit.
