Most recent, troy built pony. I thought big troy built tiller was the best I'd ever used. Pony would be great if the tines were counter-rotating like the big troy built. I'm putting it in the pile of tools I don't use anymore.
 
Here is what worked for me on a Roto Hoe brand, I twisted the belt to change the rotation and then swapped the blades side to side. It really worked good after that.
 
sc case, ynmar 2220 d..jd 14 t and 24 t , and nh 68 balers . allis wd ,1985 f250 new , 1988 ford 351, boat anchor, my boat , any gm car I owned built after 1983 ,pzs3-pt tedder rake,. it would do neither job well,.2000 lincoln , just threw so much good money after bad and lost so much religion , it would make preacher cuz a blue streak..
 
Here is what I did to my pony and it really made it work good.I added the spike to the adjustable rail that is shown in the pic and that stopped all that jumping around when tilling hard or untilled ground.No idea why they didn't have one when it was new,but that fix made a good tiller out of a man killer.

Built a new dairy barn in 1977- Acorn brand manure pump. ABSOLUTELY the worst machine I ever bought!!! Replaced about 1985 with an N-Tech. Excellent, dependable machine.
Can"t tell you the horror stories and threats to the company from a neighbor who bought the same. Let"s just say he"s no longer with us. But I certainly empathize with his threats to the company in WI.
 
1980 Chevy 1/2 ton with 5.7 diesel engine was the worst purchase I ever made. After fighting both the dealer and GM for almost 2 years in which time the dealer had it as long as I did. I purchased a 1970 something 350 Olds gas engine, rebuilt it and dropped it in the truck and finally had a dependable driver. If not for the dealer giving me another new vehicle to drive all that time It would have been lawsuit city for sure. Of course when I went to trade it in it was worth spit. Sold it privately and took a bath like everyone else that owned a car or truck with that engine.
 
One of the best engines would be putting the olds gas heads on the 5.7 diesel. remove vacuum pump, replace with distributor.
 
Two Chrysler cars. Never again will a Chrysler product be parked in my garage.
