My Osage County, Kansas ground finally dried out enough last week to make it worthwhile to fire up the <a href=”http://www.drpower.com/TwoStepModelDetail.aspx?Name=ROTTiller&p1Name=RotoHogTiller2Step” target=”_blank”>DR Roto-Hog pull-type tiller</a> to work some straw and chicken manure into the vegetable garden. My Partner in Culinary Crime brought along a positively modern <a href=”http://www.husqvarna.com/us/landowner/products/garden-tractors/husqvarna-garden-tractors-for-landowners/” target=”_blank”>Husqvarna lawn tractor</a> when she moved to Kansas, so I left the vintage <a href=”http://www.cubcadet.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category2_10051_14101_16203_600000_600000_-1_image” target=”_blank”>Cub Cadet</a> 884 Diesel in the shed for this garden exercise. The Husqvarna had no trouble towing the DR Roto-Hog garden tiller – in fact I probably used the brakes to slow things down more than anything else. I have to admit, it was a little strange to operate a lawn tractor that pretty much lacks quirks. Sometimes I like working around the quirks of 30 year old machines – however it was cool to operate a machine that started up with no coaxing and didn’t require any tweaks or adjustments halfway through the operation.</p>
