The Merry Tiller's mid-tine design delivers better balance and even-weight distribution over the tines for faster, deeper tilling. The all-steel construction furnishes both strength and long-lasting durability. The tiller's transmission is comprised of heavy-duty roller chains, as well as heat-treated and hardened sprockets. A "00" grease bath lubricates the transmission parts for years of useful service. The tiller's cast-iron hitch, structural angle iron frame, and all- welded tines provide excellent value. The Merry Tiller is available in 3 models: Minnie, Suburban and International (with engine options of Briggs & Stratton, Subaru or Honda) to suit every tilling need. MacKissic, Inc.
