For that tiller, I can't figure out the model. It says 24 inch width, but by my research, Troy-Bilt has never made one that wide. And the pictures show an older B&S engine, not the new crap Intek, but I'm still not too excited about B&S.

Much older than the previous two, but it looks like I'm getting into the "real tiller" category. I've heard good things about the Kohler, and this would appear to be a Horse. The mention of "newer tires" probably means it's seen a lot of days, so the tines may be worn enough to need replacing. Finally, I don't like that price too much.

This one looks like the oldest, but cheaper than the previous one, again with the good Kohler engine.
Which of these looks the best? I'm primarily using it for continued cultivation of a 5000 sq foot garden, and occasionally some new ground breaking.
Or should I hold out for a Honda or BCS?
