Are there any significant advantages to the 4 Speed or PTO versions if I'm just tilling soil? If you were in the market today how would you rank the different Horse tillers...

I'm 99% sure I want/need a land grader. Not so convinced on a traditional box blade but I can see its merits and have some limited use for it.

In either case, I'd want either implement to have scarifiers.

Ran across the Ignite 2 in 1 and it piqued my interest. What do you guys think? 2 in 1 good idea, bad idea?

It stopped near Argos, IN, and I knew it was going to be a zoo there because they had been promoting it on the local TV and radio stations, and I knew where it would cross SR 15 at a little burg called Claypool, so that's where we went. Since there is a crossing diamond there where the east/west NS tracks cross the north/south NS tracks, I figured that would be...
