Troy-Bilt Pony 6.5 HP Rear Tine Tiller 21A-663L066 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
