(More customer reviews)I was in the market for a small garden tiller since our garden is only about 20 x 20 feet. I started doing some research on the internet and read many reviews about the Super Bronco. Some reviews lead me to believe that this little tiller was a beast that would drag the unsuspecting gardener down the garden screaming. Others were stunned when the little tiller wouldn't drag itself through half a foot of loose dirt because it didn't have enough traction. Even others were very concerned that the little tiller wasn't very good quality when compared to Troy built tillers of earlier years.
Well, I went ahead and bought one anyway, and may I say, this little tiller is what it is. No, it doesn't buck out of control and take you for a ride, but does it jump a little when it hits a hard rock or stick? Sure it does, just like any other tiller (it ain't a lawn mower). Will it propel itself through a half a foot of well tilled dirt? Nope, not without lifting a little on the handle, just like any other tiller. Is it as high a quality as the Troy Built tiller my dad used on his huge garden from about 1980 to 2000? Nope, but then that tiller was twice as big as the little Bronco. That one would compare to the Troy Built Big Red Garden Tiller that sells for $2599.99, not the roughly 700 bucks you pick up the Super Bronco at Lowes for.
For what it is, this is a nice little tiller. My dad gave his big Troy Built tiller of yester year to my sister and it is still going. He replaced it with a very expensive BCS tiller, and it works great. I tilled his garden last year for him as he is getting rather old (82 this year), and, believe it or not, that $3000 tiller was better than my $700 Bronco tiller. Go figure. But I tilled my garden this last week with the Troy Built Super Bronco, and it did great. Tilling soil is going to be a bit of a workout no matter what tiller you use. It wasn't a whole lot different than using the BCS, just a bit lighter. The BCS tiller will buck when it hits rocks, and it will not pull itself through my dad's mature soil without lifting up a little on the handle. I do wish the handles on the Bronco were a little stouter, and only time will tell if they really need to be. The little Bronco sure is a lot easier to turn around at the end of a row than that BCS or my dad's old Troy Built.
For a large garden, get the Troy Built Big Red or a BCS, but for a small garden, and for the price, the little Bronco is a sweet tiller.
