"I bought this used, running but with issues. I've had it in a shop for several months. They work on it when they want to amuse themselves - and it is defying diagnosis. I heard good things about cast iron Kohler motors, but I have yet to experience it in this unit."

"I love my horse tiller."

"I tried to add the Troy Bult Pony as an item but it's not going through, I believe the horse is a comparable item. I was given this tiller in slightly used condition from a relative. It is primarily used in my home garden and between the corn rows in a little field behind house. I have uses it on some food plot strips as well on our family farm. The engine and other major components run great and I have had no major problems. I don't use the electric start as the pull start works great and starts first pull, I also don't want to buy another battery trickle charger. I don't run this but to till my garden on the spring and fall really."

"My 6hp Tecumseh engine locked up and I replaced it with a predator engine- #69727 212cc OHV horizontal shaft gas engine - EPA & Carb from Harbor Freight. This engine was used on my Troy Bilt Horse Tiller replacing the 6 HP Tecumseh engine. Swap was very easy to do and Engine bolted right up with no problems. Had to use a 5/16 by 24 thread bolt for the shaft and also replaced the bolts bolting the engine up to the PTO which are also 5/16 by 24. Was easy to start on initial startup, let it run under no load for a few minutes shut it off and restarted on the first pull."
