Howard rotavator vs. Countyline

[oldmanbishop]

So, I"d like to try out a heavy tiller on my fields. Good bit of clay and rocks, so it can"t be flimsy. I"ve found an old Howard HR10-155, which is apparently one of the lighter ones that they made. The CountyLine ones seem to have similar quality construction (to the HR10 anyhow), and people seem to like them. What do you guys think? Any recommendations?

the old Howard Rotovator we had was bullet proof. I havent had a chance to use a CountyLine tiller yet. I know that Countyline's plows and some disks were on the weak side though.

Which model did you have? I've heard a lot of good things about them, but it was mostly about the heavy units.
