Great Niche Tool
I needed a small manuverable tiller to create/maintain some border gardens around my lawn. A few progressive passes blended up sod much faster than a Mantis. This is the right tool for creating smaller gardens and maintaining larger turned areas. At 130 lbs, recommmend weights for tough soils. I had best success first renting a Horse for my tough jobs, then buying the Tuffy to maintain broken ground and do smaller projects turning sod and ground with limited buried debris.

This machine fits a certain niche:
Excellent power for the price - much more than a $300 cultivator.
Light weight trades away instant deep digging for good manuverability and turning. Small engine runs fairly quietly and starts effortlessly. Its single-speed is perfect for tilling, but need to be patiet when transporting up hills too steep for free-wheeling.

More notes:
Its lightweight makes it more apt to try to run away if you cheat on the depth setting. Not for breaking rough debris filled ground - rent a Horse for that. Switching to/from free-wheel requires manual removal of cotter pins... not tedious, but not like the high-end Horse tranny.

About the reviewer:
I usually like to buy high-end (luv my 44" Troy Snowblower on my huge driveway). Since my gardens just aren't that big, an economic concession had to be made. That said, no regrets with the Tuffy. ... Read more

Disappointed
Four years ago I purchased a Troy-bilt tiller/cultivator from Lowes' Home Improvement Center. The first spring I was very pleased with it's performance with the exception of a crimped fuel line upon purchase. Second year, starting was very difficult. Required excessive priming and the tines were sluggish in rotating. Third year required putting in the shop because tines would not rotate. Fourth year again, tines will not rotate. I am not disputing Troy-Bilt quality, but disappointed because I love to garden and had hoped this would resolve alot of physical labor for me. Instead my tiller has created more labor, expense in repairs and frustration. I feel Troy-Bilt products are one of the best, but feel I happened upon a lemon. While I don't expect to receive any response, I felt compelled to keep your organization informed on defected products.

Easy to operate and assemble
My husband bought me this to get a garden ready for spring. He was tired of me complaining about my back from using a shovel. It came with oil, extra wheel and a edge trimmer. It was easy to assemble and start. The wheels adjust easly for the depth you what the tiller to go. It took me about 30 minutes to cultivate the area for my garden. Clean up was a breeze too. The blades are easy to take off and put back on. ... Read more
