Any Tiller Collectors?

[mikeypizano]

I just took this tiller home today that someone I mow for gave me. She said that it doesn't run, but I think I can fix it with a carb cleaning. It is a Troy Bilt Tuffy, from 1992, and has a 3HP Tecumseh engine on it.

I only have one its a rear tine earthquake model got at menards about 5 years ago use it maybe twice a year for the garden. Always having to work on it dang thing.If it ain't the belt its the cable if its not the cable plastic cover for the air filter but its always summthin. No tellin what it will be this year

I greatly prefer my small Honda FG110 because I can maneuver it easier, but this will be nice for larger jobs. First rear tine I have ever had, or used. I took some better pictures as well...

Those are Troybilt Pony tillers I believe. I have 2 larger Horse tillers but don't consider myself a collector.

I would love to get a Howard Rotovator someday. I knew of a guy who collected those. Man those are cool, though the garden tractor tillers that replaced them are much easier to use. I just have a 5 horse MTD with forward and reverse tines as well as a pivoting handle which works for my small tight garden area.

Now this is my kind of thread, subbed. Will take pics when the snow clears enough to get them out.

My wife has a troybuilt horse with the cast iron techumseh HH60 on it that her grandmother bought new. It has factory electric start. I have put new tires on it and am going to replace the rings in it this year. The women in her family are serious about gardening.

I poured a little gas into where ajr filter goes, and it fired up, so just needs a good cleaning I think.

I also have one, but it is not working like it should.
When at higher RPM's it just doesn't run smooth as it should.
I have a Mametora 180 SB, Pictures uploading in a minute.

That is a nice looking unit. I love the two wheel tractors I think it is great for smaller uses.

What attachments you have?

If they run good then they are nice, but if they don't work like they should it can be very frustrating. Believe me

What attachments you have?

At this moment i have a plow and a cultivator. The plow you have to attach at the back, the cultivator you have to attach on the wheelaxle. So you have to remove the wheels to cultivate.
Planning to buy a small trailer that fits behind my 2 wheel tractor and my husqvarna lawntractor

I like the mowers they have for ones like the Gravely or BCS two wheel tractor.

Yes they are very nice, but don't work for this model i think. Mine doesn't have a propellor shaft

Aah, so it's not really a true two wheel tractor then.

Hmm, i still call it a two wheel tractor, but one without a propellorshaft

Close enough, maybe you could make one.

Would be an awesome project

I think these are the coolest front tine tiller ever made, I inquired about this tiller a few weeks back, but still haven't got together with the seller, might have to try again.....these tillers remind of having a muscle car Hurst shifter......
