Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt TB144 26cc 4-Cycle Gas-Powered Cultivator/Tiller with Edger Attachment Kit
Customer Review: Not Bad for a Bumblebee
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this cultivator for my wife to use in keeping her 1st year garden void of grass. This little machine is fantastic, as long as it's used for the purpose it was intended to do. Once my wife became familiar with it she has no difficulty useing it. It is not a big time tiller, even though it will handle some larger tilling jobs. If you use it for it's intended purpose this cultivator works just dandy. It's easy to start and easy to use. The only drawback I see is it's tiny, super small gas tank. It needs a larger gas tank. I recommend this cultivator.Customer Review: Poor design
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased the Troy-Bilt 4-Cycle 1.1 HP Gas Cultivator #144R because it was advertised to be a cultivator/edger. My power edger had just broke and I needed to replace it and I also needed cultivator. That was a mistake!
The edger does not work as well as a standard edger. I later purchased an edger.
The cultivator on the other hand works well. However the start cord does not retrieve/rewind without continuous help. The back wheels are attached rather loosely and make the cultivator hard to tow from job to job.
Customer Review: Great Cultivator
Summary: 5 Stars
I am quite pleased with this `lil unit. But you must understand that this is NOT a tiller! If you have a large area and/or need to dig to a significant depth, this is not the unit you want. I use this cultivator for very small areas and turning over the top couple of inches of dirt. It is very easy to maneuver due to its size and weight. It is great for making shallow trenches and digging around plants for removal and transplanting. The true test will be how well it stands up to repeated use but so far it has performed to my expectations.Customer Review: Please Read B4 You Purchase

Many Problems. 1. Black Tube and wire wrapped drive shaft bent and broke. 2. Tines broke. 3. Handle broke off on the bottom where it attaches to the lower assembly. 4. More tines bent and broke and 5. The cylinder head moves back and forth when the engine runs and spews out the oil.
My Previous tiller was a NOMA that I purchased from Lowes and it worked 12 years without problems in the same soil. I could not find a NOMA so I purchased a Mantis because of their iron clad warranty and blemish free reputation.
Customer Review: Troy built name is tarnished
Summary: 1 Stars
After using an old troy built horse for years I had to choose between mantis and troy built for a small tiller. I chose troy built because of the name. Immediately the transmission gear tore up. It was fixed for free (after driving about 80 miles) and very soon was broke again with the same problem. Pieces broke off or fell off, it is now collecting dust in my storage building. The people that repaired it also rented tools and said they recommended mantis because they did not break as easily as the troy built.
