Chain is lighter and usually less costly to repair/replace. Chains are more of a safety issue, due to a "minimum" of 2 pinch points and possible backlash when the chain breaks. Chains do handle abuse better in that they can operate with almost no lubrication, and other than excessive wear, they will usually keep going. Gears tend to overheat and "freeze up". Gears are virtually maintainance free, and require minimal or no adjustments. Unless excessive dirt/water/heat has been introduced, gears degrade very slow and require minimal or no fluid changes. All of that said, my vote goes to the Gear, I don't enjoy lubing chains and adjusting chain tension. Oh, and chains are usually noisier than gears. ">  Gear driven tiller
