Anyone have a tiller that I could borrow?

I broke ground today for the shed I am going to build... and realized that I have A LOT more digging than originally thought.

No way to even get a small Bobcat in to my backyard without taking down chainlink fence.

But with a tiller I could at least break up the sod and top couple inches of soil and make it easier to shovel.

I know I can rent one from Home Depot or any number of other places, but I figured I would ask here first.

Thanky.

Not so much "digging" as "scraping".

I need to take the top 6 - 8" off an area +/- 16' long by 8' wide to give me a level area to set my footing blocks on.

Taking the fence down is really a LAST resort. It is old. Not something I really want to mess with.

That too.

A coupla gallons of gas for a borrowed tiller = $10-15

My manual labor = $Free
