Pros: It starts nicely and has a nice paint job there's not too many pros.
Cons: It is difficult to maneuver.
The free-wheeling by pulling pins is a joke.

| aprovan's Full Review: Troy-Bilt 6.5hp Super Bronco Tiller |
I recently retired and put in a 20ft x 36ft garden. To keep the deer and other critters out, I fenced it in.
I bought this tiller pretty much on the reputation of the Troy-Bilt name, thinking the newer products from Troy-Bilt would have incorporated all the features of the old reliable models as well as improvements and innovations that have come along.
WRONG!
I have to constantly push the machine forward, the counter-rotating tines is ill-conceived.
The idea for guiding the thing in a straight line by one hand while standing on the side of the machine simply doesn't work.
In order to move the machine without the motor running requires that the axel pins are removed from the wheels and the wheels slid sideways on the shafts. There is no neutral or free-wheeling feature. As a result, you have to lift one side of the tiller and then the other to accomplish this task.
If any of my friends ever express an interest in getting one of these machines, I'll give them this one just to get rid of it!
