Cultivators are smaller and lightweight, working best in small, established beds. Tillers are powerful and ideal for breaking new ground
Power
Powerful engines help quickly turn soil for easier planting in the spring and turning under vegetation in the fall
Durability
Troy-Bilt has a limited lifetime transmission warranty on the cast iron gear casting and precision cut bronze gears (select models)
Rear Tine vs Front Tine
Rear tines push through challenging soil faster and deeper. Front tines work best in established gardens for prepping and maintenance
Forward Rotating Tines
Forward rotating tines move in the same direction as the wheels and are best used in previously tilled areas.
Counter-Rotating Tines
Counter-rotating tines move in opposite direction of the wheels and are best for breaking new ground and hard, challenging soils
Dual-Direction Tines
Dual direction tines allow you to switch between counter-rotating and forward rotating tines to optimize performance in soil conditions
Bolo Tine Design
3 uniquely shaped tines work together to create finely textured, well-aerated soil (rear tine only)
Maneuverability
Power reverse allows for flexible handling around rocks and other obstacles
Peace of Mind
2-year limited warranty (Transmission warranty may vary by model)
Pride
Built in America with US and Global Parts since 1937 (excludes cultivators)
Balance and Control
Well-balanced, easy to control design allows guidance with JustOne Hand operation on rear tine tillers

Terrible design. Handle broke first time used in under 5 minutes. Handle was made out of very thin tubular steel and only tack welded on in two small spots.
