perfect for my garden needs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd year with my Colt FT tiller. It does everything I've needed it to do, including tilling up virgin soil, grass and all, when I created my garden the first year. I have and would recommend this tiller to anyone in need of a reliable FT tiller.

I bought the Colt FT front tine tiller in March 2021 and this is now the second gardening season of use. I just finished initial tilling for spring 2022, and I have been pleased with the tilling performance in the garden. The 208 cc motor has plenty of power. Before first use, check to ensure the tines have been installed in the right direction in accordance with the assembly instructions. I was able to enhance tilling performance by using a flat file to complete minor sharpening of the tine beveled edges. I followed the storage instructions in the manual, and the engine started on the 2nd pull after winter 2021 storage. So far at this point in ownership, I give the tiller a high rating.

Tiller arrived earlier than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. FedEx as usual shouldn't be handling items this heavy as it was clear the box had suffered during the transit. Oil was leaking through the box bottom which made me fear the tiller had been badly damaged. Fortunately the manufacturer is aware of shipping difficulties and provided wooden bracing inside the box to prevent most damage. The only damage to the tiller was the tin cover over the tines was bent but was easily straightened. I'd recommend the manufacturer make them of heavier material. The engine is shipped empty of fluids. The oil was a result of a ruptured plastic container of oil supplied in the box. All the paperwork was oil soaked, but assembly is not complicated. Had it not been for the oil mess I would have given this a 5 rating. The tiller cranked on the first pull and has performed as expected.

Horrible machine, handle bar welding broke at first use, called for warranty and it was a very rude experience. Have to take it in 45 minutes away to have it inspected on a machine I only owed for 2 weeks and used 1 time. Also the wheels nuts vibrate off during use causing the wheels to fall off, I will not be buying Troybilt in the future.

garden tiller made by Troy-Bilt did not ship, said unavailable then reposted for over $300.00 higher, shame on walmart and the company called--unbeatable, more like untruthful, unreliable and shame on walmart for using them

Used three times maybe 3 hours total. I keep my equipment clean and kept inside out of the weather. Gas tank mount's failed first year, made repairs myself , muffler guard fell apart repaired it. Tried to use it today pull rope broke. I would like to talk with someone from Troy-bilt.

I bought a colt, can't find any information on final drive maintenance. But it does have a port behind the belt shield and no information about it.
