Bill,

Both are great, and if you can, get one of each.

The little carrier is simple and easy to work on, but 'fiddling' and a bit underpowered. Also a bit cramped, and steering takes some getting used to.

The T-16 has lots of power, an electric choke and 12volts power. The tiller steering requires none of the endless mainenance that the little machine warrants. The tillers also offer much needed room for those of that work too little and eat to much.

The T-16 is also at least a person bigger on each side, if parades are in your plans, and you need to pack them in.

Not as many spares for the T-16 but neither really needed anything that was not available.

Good luck.
