How to identify an old Troy-Bilt tiller? ›

Front-Tine Tillers are easier to maneuver. If a job is proving too tough for a cultivator to handle, a front-tine tiller can be a good tool to try. Front-tine tillers work best with loosely packed soil in small gardens.

If the ground is harder and contains clay and rocks, you'll need a tiller that won't be damaged when tilling through the more demanding job.

Remove a Lawn by Digging It Up

If you prefer a natural option, you can dig up a lawn with a tiller or sod cutter. Buying a tiller will make the work easier, but you'll need a heavy-duty, rear-tine model.

If your jobs are mostly light, it's smart to buy an easy-to-use cultivator to maintain your garden. If you're breaking new ground frequently, a tiller might be your best bet. Remember, if you need a heavier duty tool less frequently you can always rent a tiller for the day.
