I was recently diagnosed with cancer and am currently undergoing treatment for the disease. Any one who has ever had cancer or knows someone who has, understands what a physical toll that can do to a persons fatigue level. To make a long story short I needed something to help me with the gardening and upkeep on our chicken run, so I decided to look into the troy-bilt tiller along with some of its competitors. I read all the negative reviews that were posted on Amazon and almost didn't buy the troy-bilt tiller. I then decided to go to the big box store to buy one just in case it was a piece of junk, at-least I could return it without a lot of hassle. This thing is a BEAST!. It starts on the second or third pull every time and cuts through the soil like butter. I am amazed at how much power it has being as light as it is! I thought it would have a hard time tilling up the chicken run, because even though chickens are light they can really compact the soil over time. this machine whipped through it as though it had already been tilled. Tilled chicken run soil makes great fertilizer by the way. I thought maybe it was a fluke and decided to try it the next day and the day after that. Same results. Today I decided to try to till up a new flower bed in the yard where the grass was growing, and to my amazement it cut through the grassy area with ease. The only complaint I have in the design of this unit is where the gas lines go into the tank. They are a little high up on the tank so it starts sucking air when the gas level gets down to about 1/4 of a tank. I am very glad I bought this unit. it has cut my spring garden cultivating by a lot, physically and time wise. Had to write a review on it just in case someone was having reservations about buying one. I love this little machine and would recommend it to anyone! :~)
We are experienced gardeners with numerous pieces of farm and garden equipment. We purchased the Troy 146 EC cultivator, which includes the "electric start" option, this past weekend from a Big Box Store to finish tilling compost into a few beds. We already own a smaller 4-tine Honda cultivator - that works fine, but wanted a 6-tine to speed up our planting process. The cultivator performed as expected in the "tilling category" however, in the "get it up and running" catergory - it hopelessly failed. I don't like to have to repeatedly pull start any equipment and therefore, purchased the "electric start" attachment for an additional $40 right off the bat. The first 1-3 pull starts were perfect - tiller was up and running and we used it for about 15 minutes per start before turning the engine off. Let me say that the equipment comes with a fairly complicated "start protocol". The engine cannot just be "primed" and ready to go like the Honda. There are 3 positions for the choke/start that one must go through to supposedly get engine to start. However, for us the procedure ONLY WORKED if you had an extra hand on the ACCELERATOR BAR - giving engine even more gas & thus actually engaging the cultivator blades to get engine to start. HIGHLY DANGEROUS and nearly impossible for one person to start. After tiller starts, and I might add - using the electric starter since your arm will really get a work out, it runs fine. If you like the challenge of starting equipment this way, you will be fine. But for me, that's not good enough. I feel this piece of equipment should start as easy as a lawn mower and be safe to start. This product would have gotten a higher rating, perhaps a 3-4 star, but in my opinion, if one cannot start it - especially without having to engage tines, then equipment becomes unnecesary.
Broke the pull rope trying to start the engine. Dies during Idle, smokes a lot. filter cover vibrates loose. Had to take it to the reair shop to replace the pull rope which you practiclly have to take the whole unit appart and a special tool to remove the rope housing. I spent more time cranking than tilling. The only good point about this tiller is you dont have to add oil to the gas. A 1 star rating is to high! Get a high wheel push tiller rated one man power!
My husband has the mechanical knowledge and tools to repair almost any small motor. He found this tiller to be junk and poorly designed. The engine must be removed, clutch cover removed with a T20 torque, remove the fly out clutch assembly, remove 9 screws and you are finally able to see the starter rope housing. Very poor design. The engine began smoking big time the first season. Troy Built should remove this product from their sales line. I would never buy another tiller from them.
Unfortunately, I read the reviews by "Wind sock" and Eugene White AFTER purchase. They are both correct and accurate. I own close to 20 pieces of power equipment from mowers, trimmers, edgers, chain saws, etc. The Troy Bilt starting system is needlessly overly complicated. I found the best way to start it is to lay it down on its handle (the engine will be right side up), tape the throttle control to the handle, prime the bulb 10 times in the 'first choke' position, then go right to the 'open choke' setting. The first couple times using the 'Troy Bilt' way, I got a sore shoulder and blisters on my hand from hard starting. Its an ok machine, I just expected much better.
The Troy-Bilt TB146 performed just as advertised. It started on the third pull, no problems. I just followed the instruction manual. I would recommend this small cultivator/tiller to anyone. I've always been very pleased with Troy-Bilt products.
Hard to start with starter rope in one hand, other hand holding the front handle, other hand holding the handle bars and throttle and foot on wheel. And, when it finally starts the tines start spinning near your foot.Keep an eye on the filter cover as it vibrates loose.The fuel lines are not at the bottom of the tank, but half way up the side. So, when the tank level drops to half it starts to sputter from lack of fuel.Check your fuel lines where they pass over the plastic bubble. The inside edge of the plastic housing is sharp and wore a slot into the fuel line causing fuel to spray. Plus, it is a non-standard sized line which local auto parts doesn't carry.Engine overheats, so let it cool down if it stalls out.One Star as when it runs it has good speed and is small and light enough to fit into smaller spaces in a shrub bed.
