You should definately get it if you want to use it. I have a tiller on my 149 and it works great. I have a 2800 sq/ft back yard garden that I feed my family with and I couldn't do it without this machine.
I got it about two years ago and the first time out it broke a chain. I tore it down and completely rebuilt it and it's been a work horse ever since. I got the replacement chain from TSC and new bearings from an internet bearing distributor. There is a big gasket that goes around the entire drive housing, you can just make one with gasket material from Grainger.
Make sure you take lots of pictures of the entire dissasembly process so you have reference for re-assembly.
PM me if you have any questions and good luck, spring is just around the corner!
