Snapper Rear tine tiller

[CountryGirl]

Would like to hear opinions/review of a Snapper rear tine tiller. My husband and I are thinking about buying a used tiller that is a couple of years old. They are asking $150.00. Haven't seen it yet, just looking for a general review of the tiller.

Snapper good brand.
rear tine, way to go.
What type of motor does it have? I personally hate Techumseh engines.
When started, no smoke, good sign.

Rear tine at $150, obviously good price.

My DH says never buy anythiong but a rear tine tiller!
He just spent Nearly $700 on a new tiller
So $150 sounds good to me.

$150. Is a great price for a rear tine tiller in working order. I've got about $100. Into my front tine tiller, so another $50. For rear tine is a steal. Keep us posted!
ETA, Carol dees hubby has the right idea buy a rear tine tiller.

Thanks for the feedback. We've learned a little more about it. It is 5hp Briggs & Stratton engine which I've heard are decent engines. Not sure if 5hp is enough power. We're going to look at it tomorrow night so will let you know more afterwards. I search the web for reviews, couldn't find anything. Nice to know I can count of people on this site for info.

We got a tiller! The motor sounds good. It started up right away. Everything seem to work fine (forward, backward, tines rotated). I'll use it in the garden tomorrow evening. I'm so excited!! Thanks everyone for your imput!

I asked my DH about the Briggs & Stratton motor. He said just keep oil in it and it will run forever. Great bargain you got there!
