I had a gas powered tiller once. What an unsatisfactory piece of shit that thing was.
Broadforks are superior to tillers. A tiller will increase compaction over time by turning the soil over, killing mychorizal fungi and destroying glomalin which allows water to separate sand, silt, and clay from organics. A broad fork doesn't turn the soil over. It just opens it giving roots easier paths and more oxygen. A broadfork will decrease compaction over time.
