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.

Troy-Bilt Bronco 208cc 4-Cycle Gas Powered Rear Bolo Tine Tiller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband and I searched everywhere for a small rear tine tiller that I could handle better than the "huge" one we had. After researching and listening to salesmen, we chose this one. (He was very skeptical because he thinks bigger is better.) Anyway, after the garden dried out from the rains, he tried out the new Bronco. He complained to me that he had to push it through the garden. I just thought he was saying that because he wanted a larger one. (Keep in mind, our garden has been worked about 10 years and is now a mixture of lots of clay, and little topsoil, so it is still "thick" and hard.) I finally got to try the tiller out, and on the first pass, through the edge of the garden that had not been tilled as much, it went great. Once I got into the garden that had been worked over the previous years, I had to push the tiller. I also had to lift it up to keep it from getting stuck in the dirt. It would till down, but the tires are not big enough to pull it. Guess where it is now? Back at Lowe's. They were great holding to their guarantee that if it wasn't what we expected, we could return in within a certain time period. Now, we are on for a tiller with larger tires.
Faults for a female user: hard to transport unless you park it right next to where you use it, also have to move the tires to make them either pull when cranked only or move them again so you can push the tiller when it is not cranked, have to push it through a well "seasoned" garden and it is hard to do that, also have to hold up the handle to keep the tines from getting stuck
Pluses: cranks easy, fairly light-weight (but cannot use it one handed like on the commercials)

Troy-Bilt Pro Line 21A-665B766 10-Inch 160cc Honda Counter Rotating Rear Tine Tiller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the tiller in timely fashion, assembled it easily and was amazed when the Honda engine fired on the first pull. When the transmission is disengaged it is easy to roll back and forth to the garden.
I had previously had my new garden plot broken up, but a few passes back and forth had it looking like a powder puff...smooth, no clods, and really ready for planting.
All in all, I am pleased with my choice of tiller, even though it was a bit more expensive than some others I could have bought.
