The Troy-Bilt Mustang Dual-Direction rear-tine tiller brings unmatched versatility to your garden. Dual-direction tines with counter-rotating mode for hard soil or forward-rotating mode for softer soil. An 18-inch tilling width gives a greater reach.
- Dual direction tines allow you to switch between counter-rotating and forward rotating tine direction to optimize tilling performance in a variety of soil conditions.
- Forward rotating tines move in the same direction as the wheels and are best used in areas that have previously been tilled.
- Counter rotating tines move in the opposite direction of the wheels and are best for breaking new ground and working in hard or challenging soils.
- A 208cc OHV Troy-Bilt engine gives you plenty of power to turn over large amounts of soil.
- Just One Hand™ operation allows the tiller to be guided with literally one hand thanks to a well-balanced and easy to control design.
- 18-inch tilling width gives the Mustang a greater reach and shortens your tilling time.
- 13-inch steel tines with 5-position adjustable depth stake allows for up to 7.5-inches of tilling depth while maintaining an even tilling position.
- Power reverse allows for flexible handling around rocks and other obstacles.
- Quickly adjust speed and direction of the tines and wheels thanks to a conveniently located gear selection handle.
- 2-year limited warranty for peace of mind.

Very Good Tiller
I purchased this tiller to replace my Troy Bilt Horse that was over 40 years old! I was not expecting the new tiller to be anywhere as good as my old one. I was pleasantly surprised. While it doesn’t weigh as much as my horse it is still a beast in the dirt. I have used it to break new ground and to till previously broken ground. It performs exceptionally well in both! The only reason I gave it 4-stars is the year shift lever. It is not easy to shift it to the proper position without some effort. Other than that this machine is a beast! I will see if it will last as long as my horse!

Good tiller for the price
Purchased at TSC 2 months ago. Now that I have used it a bit, I must say it works very well. One pull start almost every time. Assembly was easy in my opinion. I like the look, the feel, the performance. Very happy with purchase.
I wish it had a hitch to hook up my Plow (furrower). My 25 year old Pony had a simple spot in the back to slide in my red furrower. So what I did was rig the depth bar with a couple bolts and it works well...except a pain to put on and take off. So I went and ordered another depth bar for $49 so that I didn't have to keep disassembling. Love this tiller.

Very Impressive Tiller
I recently had to replace my 25 year old tiller, and after much research decided on the Mustang tiller.
My old tiller was a counter rotating tine which I liked for initial tilling of our very large gardens, but didn't give me the fine soil I prefer for planting seeds and transplants.
I wasn't aware of tillers like the Mustang which provide both counter and forward rotating tines.
The Mustang gives me the best of both options.
The only small issue I have is that it is sometimes difficult to switch between counter and forward rotating tines. I always get there but it takes a few attempts to find the sweet spot.
Overall I love the Mustang and expect to enjoy using it for many years.

Discription is misleading.
I bought this last year. It is not a horse. It is a stubborn mule. I challenge anyone to use this 1 handed. I do not find any way to adjust the speed as described. You can't run fast enough to keep up with this tiller. If the speed was adjustable and it could really be used with 1 hand as is said in the bulllit points in the description I would give it 5 stars.

More difficult to assemble and use than expected
Just bought a new place in upstate NY. First year for a large garden on a fresh piece of land (previously used as a hay field). Order this Tiller on line - assembly was way more involved than expected. Tiller runs OK but took me a few days to get the hang of it. Switching gears is awkward and the forward setting has a tendency to pull and jerk abruptly. After about a week I was able to manage and control it. Would be helpful if the company included more detail about complexity of assembly and challenges with using (for new operators)
