I can’t thank you enough for passing that deal along. I used mine last night and it worked flawlessly.

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Good buy, ,Brock! And really cool of you to share that information with the community.

[@anthonypowers2813]

I've had mine for 3 years, use it quite a bit and so far no issues.

[@TKCL]

Mine has been delayed later than promised, but it should arrive this week. Thanks for the killer deal notice!

[@nathangahman8717]

👍 Glad you was able to get one and pass the deal along . I picked mine up on Friday but haven’t a chance to try it out yet… now if they would just discount their log splitters! Lol!!!

[@Jtwizzle]

There it is! Looks good 👍 👌

[@andrewb4997]

thanks for doing it on untilled land! That was very useful.

[@pramagli]

Thanks for the heads up on the Home Depot tiller sale. I picked up a 20" rear tine tiller for $179.00 that originally listed for $769.00.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Glad to hear it

[@rcguy18]

I grabbed the front tine tiller to make it into wider rear type tiller for my mini tractor.

[@solardiyhobbyandrevies8118]

Got mine !!!!

[@todd9453]

Awesome deal Brock!! I did notice your arms jumping quite a bit when tilling the grass area which I would think means it has an overall lighter weight. I was fortunate enough to get my dads 1980ish Troy Bilt Horse which is a very heavy tank and is very easy on the body; even on untilled ground (he also replaced the original Kohler engine with a Honda). Watching videos on the new version, like everything else today, they are lighter. Like you have mentioned in many videos - sometimes there are tradeoffs. If a lighter weight machine runs well and does the job for a $1,000 compared to a machine that might be a little heavier at $3,000 I would say it is worth a little more turbulence in use. At $172 it is a no brainer. That is about as close to giving it away as you can get. If it runs and does the job for three years it has paid for itself a couple times. Great find!!

[@wildbill23c]

They make a Troy Bilt Big Red roto-tiller which is as close as you can get to what your old one is, but they want $3400 for one LOL. I have my grandfather's old 1970's Troy Bilt Horse tiller, still has the original Tecumseh HH-60 6HP engine on it. Needs a carburetor, probably will never use it again as I have a roto-tiller for my tractor now LOL. Those old Troy Bilt tillers were great. The heavy weight made them much better in rough soil conditions and wouldn't toss you around like these smaller light weight tillers do...also, seems that Champion tiller was going way too fast to really do a good job. That's one nice thing with the old Troy Bilt tillers, they had a 2 speed gearbox...some had a PTO option and a few PTO attachments, good luck finding those though....they had a log splitter, and a wood chipper/shredder, and a couple other things if I recall....very expensive if you find them.

[@dustdevl1043]

Dang it Brock! You took us all the way out to the pumpkin patch, and then didn't even show us a pumpkin! Nice little tiller though...

[@andrewanderson1436]

Ya wish I could have got one. I messed up trying to see if one was in-stock local and I couldn't ever get back the store that had them on clearance. Good buy tho for tiller that size.

[@NathanTallack]

When you did that u-turn at @5:29 I thought each step you took was going to result in some toes being lost. I know it is all up to camera perspective, but damn boy, you had me worried. ;)

[@toddcaskey9984]

Morning

[@allpraisebob]

Well, I got the front-tine 22" version that was on clearance for $149, regularly $599, and though it might beat me up more than a rear-tine tiller, for that kind of discount I'm willing to take some abuse.

[@johngersna3263]

Good morning Brock. In the past I've used a rear tine tiller and they are lightyears ahead of a front tine tiller. Several years ago I ran across a front tine tiller that was like brand new for $70 at a yard sale. I used it for about 4 years and it literally beat me to a pulp. Now, we don't have a large garden but after i bought my tractor I gave away the front tine tiller and started looking for a tiller for the tractor and I never looked back. There ain't a walk behind tiller on this earth that this old man will ever own again, lol. God bless and have a wonderful day. 🙂👍👍

[@wildbill23c]

LOL, I have an old 1970's Troy Bilt Horse roto-tiller, that thing does great, and very nice to use in rough conditions, it don't beat you up, but man, if that thing ever breaks down, you better have the muscles to push it, it ain't light weight, compared to the cheap ones they make now. I too, purchased a roto-tiller for my tractor....other than hooking it up and unhooking it, its a much better way to go...mine is a reverse tine rotation model, literally pulverizes the soil, even tilling sod, it will really break it up quick....a shallow 1st pass, then full depth on the 2nd pass....yep, probably will never use that old Troy Bilt again, it belonged to my grandfather...my great grandfather bought it for him new in I think 1978. Still has the original Tecumseh HH-60 6HP engine on it.

[@johngersna3263]

@@wildbill23c A quick hitch will make hooking it up a lot easier. I got one from Harbor Freight and I can't complain about it.

[@wildbill23c]

​@@johngersna3263 I have a quick hitch LOL...even with that, its still a bit of a pain, unlike other attachments/implements, the tiller likes to either try and fall forward or backward...I have it chained down to a pallet to help prevent that, even with the kickstand on the tiller, it still isn't very stable. Luckily its one of the least used implements so its put in a corner and left there most of the year....

[@wildbill23c]

@@johngersna3263I have a quick hitch already. Its still a pain in the ass to hookup due to how the tiller sits. It either wants to tip forward or backward, even with the kickstand. To keep it sitting level I have it chained to a pallet so I can hookup to it a little easier.

[@johngersna3263]

@@wildbill23c I don't know if this will help but when I set mine on the pallet I set a milk crate under the front end at each end of the pallet instead of using the kickstand and the back shield will almost hit the pallet boards in back. Then when you pick it up you'll need to adjust the top link to hook the top. When you lift it then you can move the milk crates out of the way. It's not perfect but it works better than anything I've tried so far. I've also thought about fabricating a rack just for the tiller but I haven't gotten around to anything like that. I can't say that this will help but it did make it easier for me. I know that there is no easy way but this way has been easier for this old man. I still wouldn't trade my quick hitch or tiller for a new truck. God bless and I hope that it helps. My biggest problem is getting the pto on and locked.

[@davidwho8215]

That tiller may not be for new ground, but get a Grillo or a BCS, and they can. But I would agree, they are best between rows. I use a tractor 3-point tiller for breaking new ground. If it had an easily removable tiller and way to put ground implements on it, and larger tires, it would be fine. However, at $100, I would have maybe got it too.

[@wildbill23c]

Some of the old Troy Bilt roto-tillers did have some attachment options, very few of them though, and they were very expensive back then, but if you find them grab them....they had a chipper/shredder, and a log splitter, I think a few other items as well, can't remember anymore.

[@stump-bossBIll]

I got the front tine tiller, it came week before last, It was like $164 total - I’ll probably sell it in spring for $300 👍🏻

[@mussaelia8693]

If I wish to buy it, I need details to get it, payment and shipping cost

[@RavensRidgeNC]

Out of stock atm on HD's site - still does show price of 173.25 here in NC though, lol - for that price, wth, why not?

[@toddcaskey9984]

They don't have it in my area , so I guess the one that u have is the one I won 🤪

[@vannakr25]

Yeah I got mine around z$180.00 - Now it’s $699.00 at Home Depot - bought since July 2023 but haven’t had a chance to open yet until now (May 21 /2024 due to home renovation.

[@ilovepinktacos]

There should be be a lever for the auger speed digest from the drive train wheels speed. Make no sense for them to be on the same page, what if you want to dig further down with out moving forward?

[@PFLAGMaryland]

How do you clean the air filter. and if you can't clean it where do you order replacement?

[@Midknight2792]

Any troubleshooting videos on turning on the engine if the tiller? I assembled mine and I can’t get it to turn on

[@BUTTEWORKS]

I was between the Champion and the Cub Cadet and I think will pull the trigger with the Champion.

[@benreece8324]

I can’t get mine to pull itself through the dirt, any suggestions?

[@peteanderson1714]

great deal/ website shows same price but out of stock. 😪

[@salinas831100]

I order it but it supposedly got damage in delivery an they just gave me my money back … but I got the wood chipper for 200 bucks which usually sells for 700

[@1EVILZ06]

No longer available at that price on Home Depot’s website..😔

[@mussaelia8693]

How to get it ? Costs

[@davidmays2161]

Goes to show you how much home depot marks up equipment.

[@wildbill23c]

I have an old 1970's Troy Bilt Horse Roto-Tiller....to replace it now, they want $3400 for one...OUCH. Course that Champion tiller is now out of stock, and if they came out with it again it would be $1000+ most likely.

What model Champian generator did you get?

Question, do the tines always turn when the motor is running? Example, can I have it in forward gear and move it from a shed to the garden without the tines moving?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

They only spin when you pull the handle

[@timlist4173]

@@RockhillfarmYT so can you have the unit tires move without the tines moving?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

@timlist4173 I misunderstood the question. If the tires are turning, then the tines are turning.

@@RockhillfarmYT thank you

[@arepadetrigo]

Have one enroute.
