Cons: None yet.
Summary: First things first, a Troy-Bilt tiller is the top of the line Tiller, The 8hp tiller comes in two types, you have the standard, which you pull start by hand, or you have the electric start which really comes in handy. For first time users the owners ... read more

Pros: Solid, cast-iron, prepares a great seedbed.
Cons: Heavy, expensive, no differential
Summary: I read a few poor reviews here - but mostly good ones.The Troy-Bilt "Horse" tiller has been around a few years and apparently offered in a few different flavors. Mine is the 7hp Horse - may have been called the "PTO Horse" when I got it. It's the ... read more

Pros: It has a nice color
Cons: When something happens the company totally ignores you completely.
Summary: I ordered a 8hp Troy-Bilt with an electric start because it was supposed to be the last tiller I would ever own and they are supposed to be the best. I got it. It was NOT delivered like it was supposed to be. The very day I got it, it was being put ... read more

Pros: Strong, durable, capable of impressive feats...will last a lifetime
Cons: Somewhat crude, heavy, cumbersome...occasionally finicky
Summary: I bought my electric start Horse tiller 6 or 7 years ago, and use it several times a year. It is strong, well-built, and heavy (about 400 lbs with accessories). Another reviewer commented on the weakness of the clutch system, but he may not have read ... read more

Pros: Solid construction, almost bullet-proof design
Cons: Adjusting the clutch can be a pain.
Summary: Sure you can buy a less expensive tiller than a Troy-Bilt Horse, but if you're serious about gardening I don't know why you would even consider anything else. Most tillers are built for fairly light duty, infrequent use. Why? Because it costs money to ... read more

Pros: Tough machine gives perfect results every time
Cons: Cost, weight.
Summary: Troy-Bilt has been making rototillers of this same basic design for more than 70 years. The company has operated under different names, but these tough machines have been around almost as long as hobby gardening has. If you buy one, you will probably ... read more

Pros: Versatility, dependability and power.
Cons: Awkward reverse, standard tines wear quickly & exposed axles.
Summary: For the homeowner/landowner who doesn't have so much land that a tractor would be
required but too much that a shovel would be impractical, the Troy-Bilt Horse Tiller is a perfect
compromise. I purchased a 7-acre parcel that was once a ... read more

Pros: Quality, power, and strength
Cons: Could be heavier
Summary: I use this tiller a couple of times a week at work. My boss's is real old he bought it used about 8 or 9 years ago and it was pretty old when he got it. His doesn't have all the safety things the new ones do like the things on the handles that stop it ... read more

Pros: rock solid frame, ease of repair, big tires
Cons: belt system, slow tine speed, pto disengagement, leaky axle seals
Summary: I used this 8hp horse tiller for the last few years in my landscaping business. For what this tiller is designed for, which is home gardening, it is plenty solid. But when it is used for mostly new ground, it takes a very long time because the slow ... read more

For starters, I'd recommend this ... read more

Pros: The job it does
Cons: Can be a bit noisy at times.
Summary: I own a Tray-Bilt 8HP Horse garden tiller that I would not be caught dead without. It is an ease to use, and does a wonderful job. I have used my tiller for some six years now, and judging by the jobs my earlier tillers did, the Troy Horse is superior. ... read more

Pros: Realiablity and Handling
Cons: Initial Cash Outlay
Summary: The 8hp TroyBilt Horse Tiller is the one and only tiller you need. I have found that it is small enough to easily get into the small places including tilling right up to a fence. It is large enough for the large jobs like a 1 acre garden. With its two ... read more

Pros: Will last a lifetime, better than anything else on the market
Cons: Heavy, requires some strength to maneuver, expensive
Summary: Troy-bilt was and probably remains the state-of-the art in garden tillers. My electric start (don't go to the garden without it), 8hp horse was purchased new from the factory in 1988. It has served me well, but don't believe everything you see in the ... read more

Pros: Easy to operate. Durable
Cons: Troy built no longer makes them MTD does. Hard to manuever in small spots.
Summary: I have owned one since 1993. The best tiller on the market as far as I am concerned! Real easy to operate, Very durable, and lasts forever!As far as noise it is quieter than most others in this size. If troybuilt was still making them I would buy another

Pros: Durable, reliable, tills through the toughest of soils, did I mention durable?
Cons: NONE
Summary: Well, I have to say that the Horse is probably the toughest, most durable tiller ever made. I inherited mine from my father a few years back even though he "supervised" ME doing all the tilling myself when I was growing up. But to this day, I have
