  Well, I think since my folks live about 6 minutes away, and my raised bed is somewhere
around 12 x 4.5 or so, I'll just stick to borrowing theirs and save the $300.

  Wow, that thing is a beast!!!  I think it would take longer to try to hoist it over the
rail into my bed, and back out again, than it would to till the bed.  Definitely NOT for the
casual gardener.  My parents is a little smaller than that... maybe a 4 HP or so... too lazy
to go out in the garage and look right now... and the business end is in the front.  I'm
pretty sure it's a Craftsman.
