Which cultivator

Posted by Paul @ Ashgate Garden Care on April 13, 2010 at 10:14pm in Machinery
Hi,I get quite a few clearance jobs and find the biggest pain is not removing shrubs and bushes but reinstating the flower beds so they do not look like a battlefield.I've got a Mantis tiller but it's too lightweight to deal with a lot of the clay soils around here.I've been looking on the t'internet this evening and am considering selling the Mantis and getting something with a bit more meat on it.My budget (unfortunately) won't stretch as far as a Camon C8 and I prefer to buy new rather than secondhand. I've been looking at either something like a Husqvarna T560H or a TR430.My main concerns are that the depth on the TR430 is only 6" but it is 40kg heavier than the T560H.See http://www.abbeygardensales.co.uk/subprod/husqvarna-cultivators-0001629.aspxI was wondering if anyone had experience of these machines or ones of a similar price bracket and what they are like in heavier soils. I also intend using it for preparing the soil on the turfing jobs and digging veggie patches.
