[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 537759, member: 84"] Well............... Honestly, I'm a bit leery of rototilling the yard. I dunno what ALL they used my backyard for over the past century and a half.........but it has some mighty BIG rocks and chunks of concrete in it, several inches under the dirt, in some places I might have a few feet before running in to them. (I've been "building" dirt for years here) I had this reinforced when I did the digging for the garden. I'm afraid if I rent or borrow (because I can easily borrow one for free) a rototiller I'll hit a rock / piece of cement not knowing it was there and break the darn thing. And when I say "building" dirt, I'm not joking. Years and years of Rowdy's winter straw bales have made me several inches of dirt........up to 2 feet in one area alone, that just weren't there when we moved in. husband and I attempted to dig out those rocks that first summer...........let's just say it didn't last long. Too many of the darn things, and too many that were too big to dig out. Easier to just make dirt on top of it. But I got my fancy smancy mower with it's key ignition (thank you income tax return) and it's even self propelled (could've cared less about that but it came with it) and once we weed eat/swing blade it again in the morning.......I'm mowing it short. The mower even has a bag to catch the weeds. Didn't know it had that either, but I sure am NOT complaining! I whipped through the front yard in 10 minutes. LOL I'll go back to the manual out there..........I just wanted to see how it cuts, and it's frigging awesome! And for what it cost me, I'd have taken it back if it wasn't. [/QUOTE]
