Troy-Bilt Tiller Review
The biggest and heaviest Troy-Bilt tillers, it’s designed for the heaviest-duty jobs in gardens over 2,500 square feet. Somewhat more difficult to use than I expected. Hard to start too. My one wish is for the tiller to have the option to move the wheels further out on the axle so it would have greater stability when needed and then switch back to the narrow width to till between rows. If you have a large tract of land, this is the tiller to use.
