Garden Tillers: Forward vs Reverse Rotation? 4 Distinct Tests

This video pits two identical PTO tillers, one forward-rotating, one reverse-rotating, against each other across four distinct real-garden test scenarios, including dry ground, plowed soil, and heavy crop residue. Two operators run both machines simultaneously, comparing trash handling, tilling depth, soil fineness, wave formation, and tractor load in real time. Both conclude they'd buy the forward-rotation unit, with clear reasoning. Useful for anyone actively deciding between tiller types.
