Front Vs Rear Tine - Toro's New Dual Direction Tiller Gives You The Best Of Both Worlds

[@job38four10]

Finally someone that knows how to do a tiller review........ I look dozens of videos trying to find out the need or benefits of duel rotation tines, it appears forward tine rotation tines is good on ground thats already tilled so can go over quickly. Then you showed the other function which was great, I like the idea of transport without tines turning. Only issue I see is the 17" till width, I'd prefer 18"-20".......

Great show/review. Helped me mark a few ifs and or off the list. Stay blessed!

Dame dude u lost a lot of weight I look amazing proud of u I’ve been watching for long time

Just subscribed💯 excellent explanation of the tool, New here evendoe I have no use of this but I love learning of every tool out there

I bought one of the Earthquake versions of this tiller. . . don't make that same mistake. They are very underwhelming when it comes to power. You will have to REGULARLY adjust belt tension / replace belts a LOT more often than other tiller designs. . . The ignition coil went out the 2nd year of use and was nearly impossible to obtain. Many of the small plastic parts (carb attachments / filters housings etc. . ) WILL break with any services. It will stop going into "reverse" in the 2nd year. . . Really hope the Toro version is more durable, more servicable, and has more power. Anyone considering the Earthquake version. . just don't.

Thank you kind sir!

I have a tiller with a briggs motor - 17 years and still running like a champ

Well, this almost explains why my husband didn’t like a rear tine BCS that I bought awhile back. We had a very large property back then and there was plenty of room to maneuver the larger rear tine. He’s 6’4” and I don’t think it was the handlebar position, but the difficulty he thought was turning it. After many years we didn’t have acreage, but are back to acreage and found the gas tank of the BCS had a piece of foam in it-never seen this before and I was a bit perplexed and it was deteriorated and I think there was something to do with the carburetor. The cost to fix was well over $200 just for the tank and I said, forget it. We got a basic front tine from a friend and I curse that thing every time I need to use it. We have sandy soil and it is a ‘Beeotch’ to till new ground and it can bury itself. I miss my rear tine tiller. Now I see this one runs in both directions I wonder if husband would like that better? Maybe he secretly wants me to work harder or would he still have an issue turning it? Most of my garden is no till and I have the soil conditioned so I could probably go with a small battery operated model if I would need to mix it up, but my second garden still needs work and I was using the “B” to till yesterday and I just can’t take it. Then every time our conversation turns to my old rear tine tiller and how I loved it and he hated it and I walk away. I would say if your rows don’t have room to turn the long bodied rear tine, don’t get one. We have to fence in everything here from wildlife pressures and my south garden I wouldn’t be able to use a rear tine as it’s close quarters with outlined paths and rows, but the north garden is a blank slate and I despise a front tine to break ground. Hopefully I will get my second garden in shape like the first and this squabbling over front/rear tine will be a distant nightmare. Thanks for the overview.

I want a tiller than can be a front tine sometimes and a rear tine. Rear tine always leaves corners not done, if working in a fenced area, with front tine you could get into the corners. This is a lightweight tiller, stamped sheet metal tines, 3.5 horse engine. Having forward and reverse rotating tines is nice though.

[@chrismiller100]

I'm in the market for a tiller, but have never owned a rear-tine model. It looks like this one is nearly identical to the Earthquake Pioneer, but instead of the 99cc Viper engine, it's a got a Briggs & Stratton. I understand both engines have their issues, but I feel like the Briggs will at least have replacement parts readily available.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Rear tine is good for sandy soil. This dual direction works good for heavy soil too. Front tine is best for heavy soil.

Great video. 10b zone here and potters could just pick up Clay from the ground 😂 thanks

[@AbdullahAbdullah-te2nj]

How many. Price

[@sandiegogeek]

I know this is a little older video but I'm currently looking for a rear tine tiller and can't decide between this one and the Earthquake Pioneer. I am pretty tall at 6'5" but can't seem to find any reviews of people talking specifically about the height of the Handlebars. I seen you mentioned in another thread that there are 3 adjustments and you have it on the middle for other family members. How tall are you and if you put the handlebars on the tallest setting how much does it raise up?

[@ellice100]

Hello! 6’2” here, planning on setting the handlebars for 5’8” woman, but setting handlebars to highest should work well for 6’4”person (like my 6’5”son). I have the Earthquake string mower and now the Earthquake Pioneer rototiller. All is good…😊

[@sandiegogeek]

@@ellice100 Awesome thank you for this. I have yet to find a difference between the Toro and the Earthquake Pioneer except for the Pioneer being $300 cheaper

[@Avi-ow4wo]

What’s the model and average price

[@melindaunknown6411]

Is this the same model you can but from Tractor Supply?

[@coreysadventures9914]

Awesome review

[@sirwallygator565]

It's funny how Too tiller is the same tiller as Earthquake tiller and EarthQuake claims they make they own equipment

[@hughbrown6023]

Seems to me the handle doesn’t adjust and your hunched over. Is it adjustable or not

[@WorkshopAddict]

It is adjustable, but not enough for a 6 foot 4 guy

[@parkerk7018]

How is the height of the handlebars for a taller person like yourself? Was it uncomfortable?

[@WorkshopAddict]

It is comfortable and I have it set in the middle setting. They can move up one set higher. I put them in the middle because of other family members who are shorter also using it.

[@GregK9]

@@WorkshopAddict - how tall are you?

[@rikstardy]

127cc?!?!

[@jaycounts4717]

Rear tine tillers don't do good with tight turning radius, also, the handle is very low when at full depth...it hurts by back just watching.

[@carbonstar9091]

I have a cheap front-tine tiller and I absolutely despise the thing.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I can tell you a forward turning rear tire is not much better. The counter rotation rear time is what makes this shine.

[@choncoconcos5912]

What brand do you have, I have a yard machine and I not that bad.

[@donnastormer9652]

I have the earthquake pioneer version of this, and I will never buy an offbrand named motor again! Though it has been a wonderful tiller when it worked the carburetor went out after three years and I serviced it properly, so there was no reason for it and I have been waiting for six months for replacement carburetor because China is not sending them out and earthquake told me the carburetors only last for about three years anyway

[@WorkshopAddict]

I am unsure I have ever had a carburator go bad, let alone after 3 years. Normally you can clean them or replace a few small parts. Sorry. That sucks

[@donnastormer9652]

@@WorkshopAddict it is true. It was unusual that it went bad, but when I talked to the company about it, they said that it was common for that particular carburetor. I did everything right I used ethanol, free gas I made sure the gas was drained, completely out of the carburetor. Every time I turned it off, when it wasn’t being used on a monthly basis, I put stable ease in the gas, but as I said, the company said they don’t last forever…. I would’ve expected it to last five or six years at least not three.!

[@Wrillion]

Toro is earthquake copy, exactly the same except engine.

[@sunnydays4966]

Real twine will eat you feet.

[@shanew7361]

Briggs motors are trash, hard pass.

[@connorlee478]

Use it til the warranty is up and it blows. Then put a Honda on it and be done
