The Ultimate Guide to Residential and Professional Tillers and Cultivators Made in the USA
I don’t know much about cultivators and tillers made in the USA (especially those fancy farm tillers) except that we need one. My old cultivator is about 25 years old and while it’s still running, it’s way too small for my gardens that keep getting bigger and bigger. It does the job but Don’s arms are pretty useless for days after. I’m usually a no-till gardener so the occasions when we need a tiller are few and far between. But boy when we need it, we need it. If you buy one of these American made tillers, can I just borrow yours every 5 years or so?
