Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt TB144 26cc 4-Cycle Gas-Powered Cultivator/Tiller with Edger Attachment KitCustomer Review: A great item that is not for everybody Summary: 4 Stars
I should have done more research before buying a cultivator/tiller for my garden. We have extremely heavy clay soil over most of our yard. I now know that any cultivator or tiller would have had the same problems and really isn't the best thing for clay rich soils to begin with. The clay gets stuck to the blades (on any tiller) and you end up with a "hardpan" below whatever depth your tiller dug to. Even with a super heavy duty unit that could muscle through the clay better you would end up ruining your soil to some extent if you have a heavy clay soil. Otherwise I think this product would have been a great investment for us.
In the few spots where our soil is more sandy this cultivator works great. It is a bit noisy but it is a solid product. It would be a great thing to own especially if you had already established flowerbeds and you were digging in compost and such. The unit runs on gasoline and had a separate oil port for 4 cycle motor oil that you would change and monitor just as you would a car. No need for mixing fuel. You do need to change the oil and add new oil to the chamber once in a while (just as you would a car). It seems to be quite fuel efficient as well. I have not tried the "edging" feature. The edger blade comes with the unit and requires a little more assembly to "convert" it to this function. But, I mainly bought it for its primary function. The unit is light, well constructed, and easy to start.
If I had to "do it again", I would not have bought this unit. But, it has nothing to do with the quality of the item rather the soil in my yard. Some yards are just not tiller friendly.
