Terrible design and functionality
I just got this tiller and I already want to take it back. Having to take out pins in the wheels to be able to move when the motor is not on is not fun. Even worse is trying to get the pins back on. Not to mention when tou move the tiller the wheels just want to fall off. Furthermore this newer model does not have a steel cage on the fromt to protect the motor. Also wanted to note that this version does not have reverse and I think that is a must have. I would consider buying the version up from this one or perhaps buy another brand.

    Always the best
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a Troy Bilt Pony I inherited for 30+ years. It was bought by my stepfather in 1982 and I finally retired it last year. I've used the new Bronco a few times an I'm very satisfied with it's performance. It starts first pull every time and has plenty of power, I'm looking forward to many good years with it.

    Totally screws up Troy’s reputation
    Tiller digs itself into a hole! Not easy to use at all. Troy needs to make a kit so tines go the opposite direction that this tiller is designed to go. You tried to fix something that was not broken and broke it. I had a old Troy horse for over thirty years, that design worked perfect!

      backbreaking
      heavy, hard to maneuver. no reverse, handle bent while turning around. to free wheel you need to pull wheel pins. hard to hold up and line up holes. I should have read fine print. better to buy model up from this. or a different brand.

        Very good tiller but for another $100 the Super Bronco is slightly larger, has a reverse mode, front bumper bar, larger tires and throttle control on the handle. That would have been the better deal. I’m still happy with this one - it does a great job at tilling the soil.

        Worst tires on the market
        Stems broke away from tubes after only 3hours use. That's a really poor performance record. Toro really should use solid tires, or at least better quality tire.

          I love it
          I was skeptical for the function but it works great. I have 2 acres of land and convert some part of the backyard into fruit trees and flowers. Without the tiller, it will takes me weeks but I did it only half day. Thank you for the inventer and manufacturer

          The tiller works very well, however the tires did not hold up to what we expected by Troy-Bill. Both of their stems broke off causing the inter tube to be replaced the first time we used it. We had a hard time changing them out. It say they are tubeless which is not correct as they have a tube in the inside of the tires. We have owed one previously and never had issues with the tires before. Kind of disappointed in the product. Still a good product though and did the job nicely.

          There are no dirt shields and grass gets tied up around the center shaft underneath. The shaft creates ridges and it is impossible to smooth the soil.
