Cheap handle, very poor customer service Nov 25, 2009
I purchased a Troy-Bilt Pony in 2006. I have a small garden and probably have less than 25 hours on it but the handle has already broken twice. The old Troy-Bilt tillers were built like tanks with a LOT of metal. Not so with these newer units. The handle is made of a very thin metal and the handle's attachment point to the height adjustment mechanism is very poor. The first time it broke Troy-Bilt (really MTD) replaced it. Now they refuse to honor the original limited lifetime warranty that came with the unit. I'm guessing that the newer tillers don't have such a warranty.

If they had just used better quality handles with better welds I'd really like the tiller since it works fine otherwise, although I haven't used it for that long. MTDs treatment of their customers is amazingly poor, though, so you'd better hope you don't have problems with their products. Before buying any Troy-Bilt/MTD product I'd search hard for something better made from a more customer-oriented company.

BTW, I tried to put this review on Troy-Bilt's own web site. Apparently they chose to suppress it since it never appeared. Moral of the story: never trust the reviews on a company's own web site, they select the ones they want.

After 1 year use. Sep 19, 2007
After 1 year of hard use, I am very satisfied with my Troy Pony. Last Fall I broke the packed ground after harvest while tilling in 6 inches of refuse, leaves and other material. I am 160 pounds. It controlled best at about 5" cut-depth and medium speed. It showed it's rugged construction. A second faster, deeper pass finish the work. This Spring I prepped the garden with one deep pass. The finished result was fine, will tilled, ready to plant gardens. They are raised and boxed [8'-15'] by [25'-40']areas. Cornering with the power-back feature was easy. The Pony is so far better than my previous front tine tiller. I highly recommed this unit.
