Ahh, the rewarding feeling of hard labor and success.

I don't know about the current line of B&S, but they have been a great engine for a long, long time. It wouldn't entirely surprise me if the newest ones suck. There isn't a single product line left that is built to last more than 3-4 years. That's really sad.

Where did shardian say manual labor?

If it helps, though, my kids and I are digging the trench by hand for the electrical conduit to our shed.  Shovels and pitchforks, baby.  It's really slow going because we are trying to minimize damage to the tree roots passing through there.  Can't use a trencher without cutting those.

shardian:
Oh, there is plenty of manual labor going on. I just used manual tilling tool to tear up some grass out front for a flower garden. Laid 30' of stone trimwork, and went at a big tree stump for an hour with brute force and an axe.

The damn tiller mocked me by not starting up yesterday. It ran so well the day before...

You're using a pitch fork to dig a ditch?! I am sure it is slow going  ;D

I wouldn't worry about those roots. When I built my deck, we wrapped it around a huge ash tree. I had to cut out several roots between 1"-2" in diameter. I was a bit scared that the tree would suffer but it didn't. No sign of trauma at all.
