Troy-Bilt TB146 EC 29cc 4-Cycle Cultivator with JumpStart Technology

Last summer I was sick a lot so my garden ended up being a garden of weeds and would take a lot of time to clear them out for fall planting. I wanted a cultivator, looked online and the store and picked one that I knew would do the job. I absolutely love it, what would have taken me hours to do I was able to get all the weeds taken care of in an hour. This cultivator is a monster and is awesome for what I need it for.

Powerful and small enough for the tight spaces in my small garden patch. Had it for many years now. Just be sure to use very FRESH gas, otherwise doesn't want to start. And be sure to use fuel stabilizer prior to winter, otherwise the stale gas will leave varnish on the carburetor and ruin it.

Just used it one season. Started up quickly and easily. Ran smoothly and handled fine. Did a good job on our garden. Cleaned up nicely. Replaced an old two-cycle cultivator that took forever to start. The one slight drawback is that it was somewhat heavier and awkward. But that was very minor. It did the job I bought it to do without any problems. I wished I had seen it years ago when I got my previous cultivator.

I bought my first Troy-bilt cultivator over 10 years ago and it served me well. This new cultivator can be started with the jump start that I really like. This is a cultivator and not a tiller, remember that. 10 pumps of the bulb or until the bubbles in the clear fuel line disappear. If you pull start rope be gentle and don't yank the cord to the end. Check the oil before use and don't be afraid to change the oil often. I use NON-ETHANOL GAS IN ALL MY OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT.

I must say that I am extremely happy with this purchase. I have never used one of these much less buy one. My family has purchased several Troy-Bilt products in the past. I now own a Troy-Bilt weed eater and this cultivator. I am so excited that I can operate this equipment. Thank you very much and now I pray my little garden produces lots of good veggies.

I had it for over 7yr, and I brought it for my raised gardening bed. It’s worked great, I love it. Only thing I hate putting gas in and pulling the cord. Troy Bilt is a great product, I will buy it again and again. I want that electric one no hassles right. I just got used s. Cord now. Also my husband used over and over again. He need to get his own. I brought on the phone, I saw it on Tv.

I am a 76 year old person and wanted very much to grow a full garden. However, I felt my back could could not physically contend with the soil preparation and weed control involved with such an undertaking. Thanks to my Troy-Bilt Cultivator, I have bought this project to fuition and am enjoying one of the best gardens I have had in years without the physical stress. The machine has performed as advertised.

If I can get this to keep running I really do like it as its very easy to use. The problem I have is, it will run with the filter out but when I put the filter back it the machine stops. I have the Electric start tool, so I don't have to pull the rope. I have cleaned the filter, put it back in and it won't even start. Take the filter out and it will run. The first time I used it worked fine. Now it won't run and I have only had it 3 weeks. Hopefully I can get this problem fixed.

Purchased at Lowes. I use the pull start and it is hard to start if you do not follow the starting procedure to the letter and even then takes several pulls. When it is running it works great. Mine will not run once the tank gets to 1/2 or less in fuel. Mine constantly leaks oil/fuel out of the breather and has since day 1. I rebuild garden tractors as a hobby so I am very mechanically inclined and I have had to continuously work on this thing since new to get it to run. I am very disappointed as I expected the same quality as my Pony tiller which has had only basic maintenance since 1989 and is still going.

The tiller worked fine the first year. The second year it would not start, after fuel system repair it worked. The third year it started but would not continue to run. Carburetor replaced. started but still would not continue to run. This is the second Troy Bilt item I have owned. When the string trimmer quit after the first year I should not have bought the tiller. I am a homeowner and do not do outside work. I will not buy Troy Bilt again!
