Maybe she does! Just what the difference is, if any, I don't know. A rotary hoe has the hoe out in front and it goes over and over, not around and around like a lawn mower. Before I found out that the Garden Master didn't have a clutch, I had a mechanic change the hoe so that I could pull the machine rather than push it. Only by pulling it backwards could I be sure of what I was hoeing up. I have been told that a tiller does have a clutch, so I might enquire about that, but the fly in the ointment is that they are much more expensive than a hoe. ----- Original Message ----- From: Max Robinson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 2:08 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Rotary hoes
Maybe she means what we call a roto tiller. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
