My dad had something similar when I was a lad, it really makes light work of heavy compacted soil.
I recently bought one of these tillers to get my beds ready for sowing

It was to replace my 30yr old Black and Decker tiller that finally gave up the ghost this year.
It works surprisingly well for a small machine, but if anything was a bit too powerful for small beds as it chucked soil all over the place, but did leave a fine tilth for sowing
