Well, here is my opinion.
I bought a couple of tillers in my time. I started with a front tine tiller. What a man killer! A constant fight. They buck and grab, and want to go every way but the way that you want it to go. They will till the ground, but you will sure feel it.
Next, I bought a rear tine tiller. Seemed like a good idea at the time, and it was advertised to be easier on the body than the front tine type. I started out with a Craftsman 5 HP model. Advertised counter-rotating tines. I wondered what that meant. Either way, it did a good job of turning sod into garden. After that, I bought a fancy MTD model that allowed selection of the direction of the tines. More horsepower, bigger garden, and all was well. So far, I have been running that tiller for about 10 seasons give or take.
The biggest thing I see wrong with the Troy-Bilt tillers is that the tines turn the same way as the wheels. When it digs in, it takes off on you. This puts a limit on how deep you can till, and how hard the soil can be before the tiller is useless. If the Troy-Bilt had counter rotating tines, it would to far more tilling than it can do as it is. I would put my MTD up against ANY Troy-Bilt made.
