The only one I've ever seen that I would be tempted by is what was called a
Chinese walking tractor. It was big and it didnt' seem to be very
ecologically friendly or suitable for a domestic garden. It was used by a
chap who had 40 acres and he used it like chinese peasants do, to cultivate
and to move things around his place - he'd rigged up a seat on wheels with a
sort of carry all thigny on the back as well. it was powerful but slow but
not suitable for a garden bed. From what he said at the time (and this is
at least 15 years ago) it took him a major effort to find it.

Just make an anonymous call to the police and tell them you saw someone burying
a body in
that garden bed.

Yes, that joke is doing the round atm.
Sadly it is my garden bed and there would be a few skeletons pop up if
they did give it a deep going over.
