Most useful for compact-tractor owners considering a small tilling side business.
An owner-operator channel that documents paid real-world jobs, so the perspective is a working farmer sharing practical experience rather than a dealer or manufacturer.
Because setup, trailer loading, travel, unloading, greasing the tiller and fueling take hours regardless of garden size, so square footage doesn't matter much unless it's huge.
He tills every section twice, once north-south and once east-west, then makes a final pass to clean up divots left when lifting the tiller.
A single garden would need to be about $120 minimum to be worth it, but batching multiple gardens in one day, like eight gardens for $400, makes it more worthwhile.
