"Sorry Peter I have to go the distance. I own a tiller it will cut a foot, its bloody hard work and slow. I bet above is at least six passes. Large areas like that I'd hire a cannon. 3/4 passes it would cut to a foot and leave a fine tilth rather…"

"Sorry to be blunt but we have cultivated many acres with what you describe as a tiller over the last 40 years without the need to hire a rear tine rotovator, it's unfair to criticise someone elses work without knowing the circumstances and not what…"

Distance replied to Jason Taylor's discussion Lawn / soil problem
"Sorry but a Stihl mh585 is a tiller not a rotavator. Something I would use at the allotment not on a professional job. Something like a Barretto 13hp you can hire for £100 a day is a proper rotavator and will go deeper and turn all those clumps to…"

Billybop replied to Dan Nate's discussion Charging Stihl tools from the van
"As Nick says, best just to buy more battery packs. The other option would be to take some kind of rechargeable mains voltage power bank to run a charger from. But that also could end up being more trouble than it's worth"
