As suggested, for any significant work you want to rent one of those bigger, rear tine jobs. Dad has one of those mantis tillers that is pretty handy for my purposes though. Used it to till in bags and bags of various manures, horse, steer, chicken. I also like that garden weasel claw thing for planting. I buy vegetable plants and take them from the little tiny containers and put them in bigger ones for a while before I put them in the ground. I do the beds with the tiller in the fall, then use the hand tools to break up the spot when I go to plant.
