Item # 7519549622 on Ebay is certainly the bigest walk behind tiller I have ever seen. This antique is a monsterous 9 feet long, 3 1/2 feet wide and over 700 pounds, according to the seller. It's HUGE !!!! Has anyone ever run something like this? How hard/easy was it to use?

It is HUGE.  I wonder if those tires are ok on that type of ground.    It must be old as it uses SAE 30 with gas to make the mixture for the 2 stroke. 

I have seen larger tillers than that on agricultral Tractors, but that is the largest I have seen in a walk behind tiller. However intersting, I don't get into stuff like that.

Holy Moley!!!  I'd hat to slip while operating that monster.

Having operated a Troy Horse enough hours to wear out 5 sets of tines, I'm pretty good at manuvering one around, but that monster must be a beast to turn at the end of a row. But I'd try one in a minute if I could find one locally, just to see how it works. I also wonder what something like that cost "back in the day" compared to a small farm tractor.

That's huge! I bet the old timer has used it too.

Folks---that is some tiller----Will

So no one here has experience with something like this? I'm really curious to know what it was like to run one, and how it compared price-wise and effort expended when compared to sit down tractors of the day.

It's still at the starting bid of $225. Probably a good deal, if I could overcome the fear of operating something that big while walking behind it.
