    At the price they charge for the items that company sells they better
    come with someone to operate them.

    While I don't endorse this brand I would go with something like this
    battery powered one for the price.

    just get a stirrup hoe. nothing like that would work here
    as i don't do much tilling to begin with so the soil surface
    can be compact and crusty. the stirrup hoe lets me skim the
    surface of the crust and leave it intact otherwise.

    i seem to recall that you also have pretty compacted soil
    there.

    They call them scuffle hoes around here . And they don't work worth a
    shit in rocky soil - this IS Stone County after all !

    My soil is rather hard where the weeds grow. I might
    send up some sparks!

    I use a stir up hoe on them, but it is a rather large
    area to clear.
