TROYBILT HORSE

Here is a short video of the troybilt horse tiller after a new governor was installed. She has awesome power, starts great, and runs like a champ. I also installed a battery so the electric start works great.

These tillers are GREAT in loose soil, but try to use one in compacted soil, or converting a piece of your lawn into garden.. You better have your running shoes on to catch up with the tiller. Better yet the only safe way to run a "Troy-Bilt" in hard or compacted soil is to have a "Kill Switch" connected to your hand so the engine stops when the light weight tiller CHARGES AHEAD if you hit hard soil!

Actually if you are familiar with these, they are quite good for breaking new soil. You have to start awith a shollow setting and progressively get deeper. The results are awesome with a very fluffy nicely aereated soil

SOUNDS LIKE IT IS OVERSPEED TO ME

[tsreindl]

Actually its running at 3400 RPM

If I drove my F250 across a frozen lake I would have traction trouble too. :)

The transmission and wheels take the forward thrust of the rear tines. If you dig for China on the first pass across your lawn of Bermuda grass over clay hard pan you will have some interesting results. Follow common sense and the directions and you will have success.

noisy engine though how much would one of these sell for used

@xrm41 Looks like someone doesn't know how to use a Troy Bilt tiller. If you knew how to use a tiller like the Troy Bilt then in about three passes you can convert 10,000 year old sod to a nice mellow, aeriated garden. I've done so many times, and started doing that when I was about 10 years old.

The unit is self propelled at the wheels it will pull itself along for transport purposes and also the wheels help pull it along while it is tilling.

[xrm41]

if you use a REAL TILLER, you can start with 20 year old sod, convert it into a deeply tilled garden in one or two passes, and you do not have to worry about it running away with you like the virtually worthless TroyBilt units which are NOTHING more than a Rotary Cultivator!

put it deeper

I have a question , do this machines have tractionon the wheels_ or it only moves with the traction of the tiller blades?

[rwtattoo]

They have 2 speed settings for Each belt setting (some of them) so, you can have a much slower moving 2 speeds, or a faster two speeds depending on your needs. needless to say changing the belt position isn't an easy task, but it is an option.

Just broke my old Tecumsa motor on mine yesterday, but I'll be replacing it with a motor from harbor freight, and this winter, rebuild the tecumsa.

That was fun. It reminds me of the one my folks had on the farm. It had belts in the front that you could arrange for different speeds, I think. and you started it with a rope with a know at the end which went to a pully.
