What are Tiller Tines?
.
Troy-Bilt® tillers are motorized cultivators with multiple “tines” (blades) that rotate through soil, pulverizing and breaking up soil clumps into a finer texture that allows water, nutrients and oxygen deep into the root structure of a garden.
Many would agree that Troy-Bilt® tillers are among the best in the world. Perhaps that’s why so many have been sold over the years. But, like anything used outdoors, certain parts need replacing, including tiller tines.
Troy-Bilt® History
.
Troy-Bilt® has a long history in the tiller business. Known best for their infomercial sales in the 70's and 80's, Troy-Bilt® has sold milllions of tillers. Popular models include the Pony® , Econo-Horse® , Horse® and Big Red®.
Troy-Bilt® tillers quickly became known as the best tillers on the market. Their heavy duty construction, reliable drivetrains, balanced weight distribution and ease of use re-wrote the way people tended their land and saved time in the process.
In 2000, Troy-Bilt® was sold to MTD®, who manufactures and sells Troy-Bilt® tillers in mass market chain stores
IMPORTANT! Don't be fooled by cheap, three-hole tines! The third hole is in the bend, which can weaken the steel, resulting in broken tines - and huge headaches.
