(More customer reviews)The Troy-Bilt Horse more than lives up to its name. I used it to till my garden and get it ready for planting, very easy, just turned it to powder. Much easier than my old Troy-Bilt Pony could do it. I also did some tilling for for my neighbor. Broke new ground for them. I did it 3 inches at a time and it just chewed it up! I kept adding 3 inches until I was 12 inches down. This tiller has the weight and power to do most of the work for you. It is a large machine and is alot to handle.
The one thing I do not like is the kill switch. Each handle has a squeeze switch, only one needs to be squeezed to keep the tiller running. Hence my problem, the tiller does not need a kill switch, only a switch that stops the forward momentum and tines from spinning, like my pony has. The shifter is tight on my horse and can be difficult to get back to neutral. In neutral or reverse you do not need to hold the kill switch to keep the tiller running. The tiller has 2 forward speeds, fast and slow. That shifter needs to have 3 notches, fast, free wheel and slow, so it would be easier to find those 3 spots with that shift lever. It is very easy to start, has always started on the first pull for me. There is room for improvement with the shifting levers and the kill switch, but the Horse Tiller just chews up ground better than any tiller I have ever seen or used in 34 years of gardening.
I would recommend this Tiller to anyone who has more than 1000 sq feet of garden, or has hard clay like I do. My garden is over 2400 sq feet and hard clay so it is perfect for me. The Horse would be hard to use in a small garden even if you have hard clay. If you are tired of rototiller rodeo and being drug around by a tiller that can not dig in and do the hard work, then the Horse is for you.
