WARNING: I overuse the word "Puppy" in this video to the point of being past annoying! I could have either re-shot the entire video or just ran it as it is. I chose the latter. Sorry if this annoys you. It annoys me too. But, some things just aren't that important.
I take a pretty in depth look at this awesome little direct drive tiller, available from Home Depot. Includes footage of actual use and other things to look out for when selecting a tiller for your use.

I just bought the Troy-Bilt Big Red Horse tiller. It is built solid. The tiller part is driven by a PTO so you can actually remove the tiller part and run a different accessory. It is built solid. Many people have their Troy-bilt that are 34 years old and still run.

@mangatsinghdeol2941 2 года назад

I have the same exact one for about 2-3 years now. Never had any problem starting up or running under load. I'm very happy with it so far..

@antonio39776 Год назад

The shields on the sides are obviously for protection so that the knives are not exposed from anywhere. The construction of the sheet metal is also more robust when you have those extras. Don't get me wrong this is a nice tiller of yours too!

@kylethebanjoman3295 4 года назад

I bought one of these new 'bout 4 yrs ago I think. I till 3 gardens twice a ur. I replaced the tires with some Carlisle's, and maintain it religiously. Still going strong.

@madcrabber1113 3 года назад

I still have the Toro front tine tiller that I used as a 10 year old kid back in 1977 to till our gardens back then. Still beats the living crap out of anyone who dares try it🤣

@sassylrhg Год назад

thanks...good to know.

@jwatkins9520 3 года назад

Really wish we would've gotten a rear tine tiller. We just got a Honda FC600 mid-tine tiller. It does okay but, for the price I'd rather have a rear tine. They seem to chew better. Good looking unit you got.

@hnmcclain 7 лет назад

Thanks for the review bro. The HDs where I live (Eastern Panhandle of WV) dont sell these in the store nor advertise them. so glad i saw your video. Was gonna buy the Husqvarna model but hated the construction. I really like this tiller. No frills but beats the living heck out of my compacted clay!!!lol

@Vicos 7 лет назад

Hi Neel, That thing is a beast. I was amazed at how it tears it up. I was debating fixing the old tiller, but not I think I'm just going to salvage the parts.

@barrythacker7281 3 года назад

my husqvarna drive train did not last 1 hour they fixed it a couple times piece of crap. I bought my mom a cheap mtv years ago and it did good.

@claudiodominguez. Год назад

I sharpened the blades on mine to easily cut thru sprinkler pipes, cable cables, well pump wire and yard light wires. Now I have a week of repairs before I can spread grass seed. I'm revisiting my "more is better" theory.

@mommyharris1111 3 года назад

Hey there! Just got this tiller myself and was wondering how this is holding up for you? Looks like it’s fairly decent from the video, but how has it held up after sitting for two winters?

@daniellegrows2498 3 года назад

New subscriber here 🙋‍♀️ Great video! Thank you for sharing this information!! I’m about to purchase one and I do believe this is the one I’m getting from HD.

@TF856 4 года назад

Nothing beats a Howard Gem! Best rototiller ever manufactured. Later manufactured under the name dowdswell. They better be the best walk behind rototiller ever made. Last I heard they were selling for over $10,000.

@originalfallinggirl 3 года назад

I like when you start it up. It sounds so masculine. I can imagine Dutch guys with their shirts off sharing turns using it.

@progers5019 5 лет назад

Nice job on the review and showing what it would do in your garden spot. I present tiller is pretty much like your old one. Since I've kept it in a shed, it still looks very good. If I keep my garden spot tilled and loose, it does just fine. New ground is the challenge. The new tiller has much more power.

@TF856 3 года назад

It will never be a Howard Gem. The best walk behind tiller ever made in the world.

@TheHUNTERTIM 7 лет назад

Thanks for the review was awesome and the convincing that I needed. And the price is right. $500.00 bucks how can you beat that and the way it performed on what you were doing I couldn't ask for more then that my old Troy bilt was slow and would take at least three passes to do what you did in one. Again thank you great job.

I've got that Chinese engine on my water blaster. It starts every time. Had it for 8 years. Its a bit thirsty. But starts and goes well every time.

@kswaynes7569 6 лет назад

Did you ever sharpen the tines on your old tiller? After 20 years of use, tines wear, usually to the point of needing to be replaced.

@geraldschilli8870 Год назад

The wobble on those handle bars can be easily eliminated.

@tnoutdoordudes 5 лет назад

I see the Southland version possibly replacing my 25 year old front tine tiller next spring.

@desotopete 5 лет назад

How have the handlebars held up? Looks like a real weak spot...

@bguen1234 6 лет назад

I bought one of these based on your review. It's a good tiller. The minimalist design leaves very little to go wrong. It's short handled though so you're bent over the entire time you're using it. Still, for $499 it's a good deal.

@stevenbryant4718 Год назад

You can still get this tiller for $600. It looks like a good mid -sized tiller.

@joecraig9474 7 лет назад

Thanks for the review, been looking around and doing some homework and I think this tiller may be a good choice for me. I was debating between a front tine and a rear tine.

@Vicos 7 лет назад

Hi Joe, I've always been of the opinion to stay away from front tine tillers at all cost. The ones I've seen in op just seem to bounce along the ground.

@TheBrokenLife 7 лет назад

Front tine tillers are useless and require an insane amount of effort to work. My Dad has had one since the 1970s and I refuse to touch it. I bought a tiller for the tractor instead.

@stephenhooper5704 4 года назад

After testing a few different types, I went with a rear time like this one.

@kingscairn Год назад

Looked like you were leaning (pushing) into it ?

@BenRichards87 3 года назад

Bought mine 3 weeks ago and it worked great at first. After a few hours of use the tines and tires won't work through a small amount of dirt. Sounds like something is slipping. Have you heard of this problem?

@jesseshaw60 2 года назад

Did you figure this problem out

@nirakarmohanta1736 5 лет назад

How much depth it will plough in rough land?

@Costanza2014 2 года назад

I think I have answer as to why there is no side cover over the tines, I used mine yesterday in a grassy field and it keeps clogging up with grass. So I have to keep trying to pull some out of the sides to get the tines just to move.

@john89148 5 лет назад

@shield-maiden4896 4 года назад

Looks like it's made it China. Wonder if You are still happy with the product?

@moodymac7297 5 лет назад

Take the depth control bar from your old machine and install it backward in your new one. It looks as if it was designed to also use as a cultivator spade to tear up the middle ground where the tines missed. Your new tiller might do this as well but I could not tell.

@kennethhuff7158 4 года назад

Looks like it's about equal to the Troy built pony, about same price also.

What are your thoughts on the Champion Power Equipment 19" dual rotation tiller? It is similar to this one except bigger engine and has different tines. It is on sale now at Tractor Supply for 449.99

@madman432000 3 месяца назад

somebody needs to make a walk behind tiller with side drive for the tines, eliminate that ridge in the center.

@dirtyoarcatfishing7927 4 года назад

@jasonbenoit800 Год назад

I've had this about four months and have found it to be an aggressive and powerful rig. ru-vid.comUgkxjo0FLo5z3Y_qUcT3vSlOqpMaMdFjvsXa I've used several others in the past and the Sun Joe surpasses these, easily. I note that several people have commented that it bounces on rocky and compacted soil. I believe that would be the case with all tillers - the ground does need to be "broken", either with a larger tractor type unit or with a shovel, and rocks need to be removed. I'm living on a Pike silt loam here in the midwest and the Sun Joe turns my garden to bug dust in two quick passes. I use a technique where I do a short 2 foot run then pull it back and let it go over it again.

If you actually put the depth gauge bar down it will break up that middle section

@antonheidebrink7716 2 года назад

6.5 hp to be precise i own a Kibani 2010 its the exact copy of all those smaal 6.5hp shaft driven tillers and if i am correct you can turn the middle cutting blades to curve ( point) toward the gearbox that way you dont have the hard soil mid section my bladers look like this ( )(=)( ) and i dont have the mid section i dont know i this is stock from kibani couse i bought it second hand but i am mighty pleased of my little beast i only wihs for 3 things to be different on my little beast a simpel pto system, way bigger tyres instead of the 10 inch tyres and counter clockwise tilling, i whut be 100% satesfy but hey i cant complane about my little beast

@Drewcifer1972 6 лет назад

@originalfallinggirl 3 года назад

Is it easy to smoke cigarettes while using this?

@MrSanteeclaus 4 года назад

Does this still run good- did it hold up or fall apart?

@Vicos 4 года назад

I'm using it now. Started right up and tears up the ground. I'm very happy with it. However, I failed to check the tire pressure before using it and it must have been low allowing the tires to shift on the rims while it was digging. This caused the valve stems to rub against the rim and ended up with holes in both. I just assumed that since there were tubes in it, the air would not have leaked out over the winter. Lesson learned. They need solid rubber tires on these things.

Might depend on how you use it and maintain it, you might have a lemon. You really didn't clarify what you mean by breaking down. I can't say. These days, you might find out that many of the units are made by the same company regardless of what it says on the label.

@Vicos 5 лет назад

Sounds like not enough air. Be sure there is no dirt between the rim and the tire that prevents a good seal. Might not work to use inner tubes since the wheels are driven, an under-inflated tire could spin inside the rim and pull/tear the valve out. I had this issue with my old tiller.
