    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    So, I actually contacted Cub Cadet and was informed that they are not planning on making any tillers for this season and will potentially drop them altogether, but that isn't fully decided yet. So I can't imagine buying a CC at this point considering they're choosing to discontinue their...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    Weird. Well, I'll worry about that later. I should probably focus on my actual job now ;)

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    yeah, I saw in the Yard Equipment page you can click the Add to Cart via the Recommended Products section, but it actually doesn't add it and if you go to the page for it you can't add it. Just curious if that means they're getting ready to post new products or if they're retiring stuff...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    Well, I read through a bunch of stuff and was leaning to a Cub RT 65, but when I went back to their site today to link to it their site is no longer showing tillers at all :/. Wonder if they're getting ready for the 2021 products. Anyone got a clue...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    resale value, your choice of brands and happiness of your choices adds to the discussion. I've thought about selling our Husqvarna mower to help with the purchase of a zero turn, but I know that rider is useful and will be able to do things the zero turn can't as well as I can trust my kids...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    I've been wondering the same thing. All those things people bought last year might be ripe for the pickings. I saw one of the rear tine Earthquakes for sale last summer for about $400 and wish I would have inquired about it more :/ Huh, I thought they did make subcompacts. I guess not...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    Not off topic at all, since I kind of brought the discussion that direction ;). Thanks for that info. That's really helpful to know. Yeah, I go into it thinking "I could build that shed" but then fail to think that that requires a good amount of time and I have a serious lack of experience in...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    I am absolutely fine buying the right tool for the job. The problem is cash when you realize the right solution is 3k more than you already spent and what you spent was already causing you a deep breath. Haha!!! Riding mower was great, but I really need a zero turn. Know what I don't have...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    "Garden tractor" would be the term and I bought it excitedly in haste and realized after that really it's just a glorified riding mower and as I've discussed it with another dealer than the one I bought it from they've said "yeah, this isn't expected to be used in the way you want. So really I...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    I've heard others state similar things regarding the gear box and having to spend more than the machine is worth to get it working again. I guess that just depends on if you have a friend with a few extra parts laying around, etc... Anyways, thanks for the reminder to focus on the quality of...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    When I was struggling to change the drive belt on my Husqvarna mower this summer I was cursing myself for being way too excited about getting the mower and not doing any homework on how easy some of the very necessary maintenance would be. That drive belt was HORRID!!!

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    Thank you @seedcorn. I know nothing about tillers, so I really appreciate the thoughts. I have not looked at Cub Cadet before as I've never owned their stuff, but also hadn't ever heard people rave about them for actual hard work. I've had the general opinion that they're for a low need home...

    Earthquake front or rear tine tiller?

    Alright folks, I need a tiller this spring. I've gone back and forth about front vs rear tine tiller, but the cost of a rear tine is honestly a hard pill to swallow given everything else going on in my life. That being said, what do you have and do you love it or hate it? I'm worried that a...

    Strawberries for 2020

    I don't know, but I would say you have a pretty good climate for it. When I did them from seed a few years back I put seeds down in April and May and had berries by mid summer.

    Experiencing a probably false spring... Anybody else?

    It's maybe warmer than some times, but it's not like I want to go outside and hang out in a sweatshirt. yesterday was still a "real feel" of 4F and today it's going to be in the 20s, though again it will probably feel in the low teens. That being said I don't think we've had a day in Jan yet...

    2021 Seed Orders

    Well, I've been putting together my lists in the last few weeks and in my attempt to not do 10 different oops I forgot this/that orders and pay for shipping 10 different times I was trying to consolidate everything, but then kids distracted me and yesterday I said "oh, I'll do that tomorrow"...

    Strawberries for 2020

    Putting my order in for 50 Ozark plants early this year. I was thinking only 25, but I have a lot of kids and a big area that I built specifically for strawberries, so I might as well load it up on Ozarks and Yellow Wonders. Getting in there before another spring rush.

    That was an 8' plant. We've tried direct isopropyl alcohol before, but scale can be tough
