I did a little business with a Troybilt tiller, started out when I was 15 had a garden of my own and my own money. Spent $1222 for the troy horse model with an 8 hp Kohler. The first year was slow, but then the old ladies starting talking, and in a town of 700 everybody knows in short time. Figured I had the tiller paid for within the third year and continued for ten years total. Ended up going 20+ miles from town for some people aleast with my luck they told me to return next year before I was done. In town I was charging $20/hr, $25 for new garden/clay ground or further away, sounds like alot but load/unload all day for jobs 10 minutes/$3-4 and all you do is pay for gas and nothing much for a cool one!! After 16 years of ownership, a set of tines, a couple seals I wouldn't sell it for any less than I paid for it. Remember your time is worth something and if you need some repairs doesn't feel so bad if you made enough tilling to cover your expenses. I have heard that a tractor with a hydrostat works really good so that you can slow way down to till. And once you get started give up your after work time, because you'll be tilling well into the dark during the spring and fall. enough said chris
