 "Cheap handle, very poor customer service" 2009-11-25
By AScopes (Upstate NY USA)
I purchased a Troy-Bilt Pony in 2006. I have a small garden and probably have less than 25 hours on it but the handle has already broken twice. The old Troy-Bilt tillers were built like tanks with a LOT of metal. Not so with these newer units. The handle is made of a very thin metal and the handle's attachment point to the height adjustment mechanism is very poor. The first time it broke Troy-Bilt (really MTD) replaced it. Now they refuse to honor the original limited lifetime warranty that came with the unit. I'm guessing that the newer tillers don't have such a warranty.



If they had just used better quality handles with better welds I'd really like the tiller since it works fine otherwise, although I haven't used it for that long. MTDs treatment of their customers is amazingly poor, though, so you'd better hope you don't have problems with their products. Before buying any Troy-Bilt/MTD product I'd search hard for something better made from a more customer-oriented company.



BTW, I tried to put this review on Troy-Bilt's own web site. Apparently they chose to suppress it since it never appeared. Moral of the story: never trust the reviews on a company's own web site, they select the ones they want.

 "After 1 year use." 2007-09-19
By Willard Tayler (Reno, NV USA)
After 1 year of hard use, I am very satisfied with my Troy Pony. Last Fall I broke the packed ground after harvest while tilling in 6 inches of refuse, leaves and other material. I am 160 pounds. It controlled best at about 5" cut-depth and medium speed. It showed it's rugged construction. A second faster, deeper pass finish the work. This Spring I prepped the garden with one deep pass. The finished result was fine, will tilled, ready to plant gardens. They are raised and boxed [8'-15'] by [25'-40']areas. Cornering with the power-back feature was easy. The Pony is so far better than my previous front tine tiller. I highly recommed this unit.

 "A Handful" 2008-05-13
By Anchoret (California)
We purchased one of these from Amazon last year and I have now used it for two planting seasons.



In its favor, I would say that it has been strong, powerful and reliable; the engine starts easily and works well at low RPM, which is often necessary because (unlike earlier Troy-Bilts) the tiller has but one transmission speed. It does a fine job of tilling dirt and light sod if tilled gradually in deeper successive passes.



Against it are the awful control ergonomics, which I assume were designed by attorneys or some other species of non-user. Using the tiller controls is still unintuitive and downright dangerous for the inexperienced owner, especially if working in smaller gardens -- for which this tiller is unsuited, if for no other reason than the poorly designed reversing mechanism that makes getting out of tight corners quite difficult.



For a big garden with large, open expanses this tiller is fine for an experienced user with good upper-body strength. For the smaller garden, it is difficult to use and can sometimes be dangerous. The crash bar in front isn't there for looks.

 "Vaughn Hatch" 2009-05-11
By Vaughn I. Hatch (Springdale, AR USA)
Another reviewer calls this tiller counter productive. They are absolutely correct. The counter rotating tines prevent the tiller from going forward and cause it to veer off course. Compared to the quality of old Troy-bilts this is a shoddy machine. The tines break like they were made of glass. The customer service is terrible. I ordered two right hand tines and was sent two left hand tines. I had to pay $10 shipping to get the wrong parts, pay $10 more to return them, and pay another $10 to get the correct ones. I was told by the customer service rep that that was MTD's policy. The only quality on this machine is the Honda engine. You will be more productive with a $10 hoe.

 "The Just Right Rototiller" 2007-06-07
By James S. Randall (Clarkston, MI USA)
The size and power is judt right for my 30 by 100 ft. garden. The Honda motor starts up on one pull and the convience components are very helpful. The quick and easy pin position clip allows for eacy changes between free wheel movement and ingear movement. This allows for moving the tiller much easier when it is not running. Also, very helpful is the bars on the front that allow you to pull the tiller into a shed when you have to move/pull over a step or maneuver into a tight corner.

 "Does a great job for its size. " 2007-05-31
By H. Chandler (St. Louis, MO)
Like many of you I bought this for my garden, but unlike a few of you I understand the correct way to use it. 1 - Don't till to deep when you first start out; 2 - Don't till wet soil as you're only asking for trouble; and 3 - Read and follow all the instructions! Trust me you'll be glad you did!



The video that many of you have seen online of this tiller at work is that of a prepared plating bed being tilled. Not one that is just at the beginning of its preparation. This tiller is for small gardens so if you want a Troy-Bilt tiller to farm with then you should look at the Horse model as it has lots of POWER!



Also, the current Amazon price is $50.00 over the MSRP. Lowe's sells this tiller for $729.00 with FREE shipping to the store. So does Ace Hardware and a few other stores out there! So shop around unless Amazon lowers their price first.

 "Has a few drawbacks " 2007-03-29
By J. Maggard
Works fantastic in some soils, Plenty of horsepower and mixes the earth to a fine soft texture. Normally it would be a great machine except when trying to till clay soils or soils with vegatation. The reverse turning tines pulls the vegatation to the front and builds up under the deck requiring frequent clean outs. The clay soil builds up under the depth guage and raises the tines out of the ground requiring clean out also.

But if you have a clean sandy soil I have found this to be a real good tiller.

 "Counter Rotating = Counter Productive" 2007-01-21
By Travis C. Lofthouse
First, I should mention that I grew up running my dad's big Troy-Bilt forward rotating tine tiller. As a very young lad, I could handle the tiller with ease, and with only one hand on the handle. The tiller did all the work and needed very little human interaction. It served our family for 20 or 30 years. I have always been a great fan of Troy-Bilt tillers because of that experience, and that tiller will be a point of reference for this review.



Thinking the counter-rotating tine idea sounded like it would work well, I decided to try it in my garden. After a short time working with the new tiller, I decided that the "counter-rotating" should be changed to "counter-productive." I ran into two major drawbacks.



1) I found it almost impossible to keep the tiller headed in a straight line, even at a very shallow tilling depth. Because the tines work against the forward motion of the machine, any slight divot or furrow would send it off on a tangent, especially if the back end was hitting any hard dirt, causing the back end to bounce. Any time I would run onto an obstacle, such as a corn root from last year, the tiller wheels would dig in and the tines could not dig into or go past the root. I would have to lift the back end to get it to continue on. With a forward rotation, the tiller would just continue forward and perhaps lift itself over the root, but within a couple of passes it would chop it up, rather than getting stuck on it and sending the tiller on a curvy path. Even after a couple of passes, I found that I almost had to push the tiller to keep it moving in a forward direction.



2) I like to put organic material on the garden at the end of the season and till it in, such as the straw and manure from the chicken coop. With the CRT tines, the tines push this type of material forward and up rather than down and back, so soon the space between the shroud and the wheels is clogged, and the tires grab it as it is constantly pushed forward from the tines, so within about ten feet, the space between the frame and the wheels and the shroud and the wheels is clogged so tight with material that it won't hardly move, so I had to stop a couple times on every pass to unclog it.



Summary: This tiller is not meant for gardening. It took me at least four times as long to do anything with it than it should have, with inferior results. The inability to till in organic materials is a serious problem. The machine's inability to keep moving forward and in a straight line is very crippling to productivity. The counter rotating tines also seemed to transfer a lot more vibration to the operator. My hands were numb after running it for a while. I had no problem with the Honda motor or the power of the machine, which ran without a hitch (thus the two stars,) but it was just too hard to get anything done!



Thank goodness I bought it at Lowe's and they took it back!
