I have one for my Troy built tiller and we use it to make our rows for potatoes and for hilling also work great. Randy

Hey Larry, bolt a Tee handle on to it. Then you can buck those big drifts on your sidewalk. Maybe hang a couple of trowels from your pants pockets and make truck sounds as you push that beast down the sidewalk.

I bought a new Troybilt back in 1987 Actually two of them. I was playing softball with a church team,and slid into second base and broke my ankle. Was gonna be layed up for quite a while. I could get around without much problem, but couldn't lift anything or go to work. My wife the gardener wanted a Troybilt so we decided to drive the Chevy Suburban to the factory in Troy NY and get one. Talking to the neighbor who has a garden bigger than my wife's and he wanted one also. So one day I got in the backseat, put my leg up on the seat and she drove us to Troy. The tillers were in wooden crates that fit in the back with the seat folded down. We used the tiller for a lot of years til the gardener decided it was time to go to raised beds a few years ago. The tiller was given to my daughter who uses it every year in her big garden. She has 6 kids. The neighbor still uses his in his big garden also.

Was an unused one hanging on the wall of the father in law's garage when I met my wife in 1981. Now I have his Horse tiller and it hangs on the wall of my garage, unused, LOL.

They are about the maximum load my Troy horse will pull. If you work the dirt deep and fine before using it, then run the plow as deep as it will go it will be a load. Proper belt tension is in order.

I've got a brand new dozer blade for one in my stash. I'd give it to someone who could use it.

Cool story ! I have fond memories of the factory, seeing it was just over the hill, easy to get parts and things for tillers. Used to deliver there all the time for the lumber yard back in the day. There's a whole collection of troy bilt tillers at the Burden Iron Works museum in South Troy.
