The Troy-Bilt Bronco™ CRT tiller offers great maneuverability and power with its rear-tine design, making it easy to break new ground and prepare areas for planting. It has a maximum tilling width of 14 inches, which is perfect for small to medium-sized projects. The 10-inch steel tines can reach up to 6 inches of tilling depth.
How The Bronco™ CRT Compares To Other Tiller Options
Gardeners and property owners evaluating tillers usually face this question: should I get a small front-tine cultivator, a basic forward-rotating rear-tine tiller, or invest in a counter-rotating machine built for tough ground?
Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | Front-Tine Cultivator ($300-$700) | Forward-Rotating Rear-Tine Tiller ($800-$1,200) | Troy-Bilt Bronco™ CRT ($1,293.93) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | Small 2 to 4 HP electric or gas | 140cc to 200cc gas | 208cc OHV Troy-Bilt engine |
| Tilling Width | 8" to 12" | 12" to 16" | 14" |
| Tilling Depth | 4" to 6" | Up to 6" | Up to 6" with depth stake |
| Tine Rotation | Forward only, light duty | Forward rotating | Counter-rotating for hard-packed and clay soil |
| Tines | Light steel, front mounted | Standard rear tines | 10" bolo-shaped steel tines |
| Transmission | Plastic or light gearing | Basic gear drive | Cast iron gear casing with bronze gears |
| Tires | Small plastic wheels | Basic rubber tires | 13" ag tires for uneven ground |
| Transmission Warranty | Rarely covered | Limited, 1 year | Limited lifetime |
Why The Troy-Bilt Bronco™ CRT Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a garden tool, it's equipment built to break new ground that other tillers struggle with.
The Bronco™ CRT specifically addresses the needs of gardeners and property owners dealing with hard-packed soil, clay, or ground that has never been tilled before.
Counter-Rotating Power. Unlike forward-rotating tillers that move with the wheels, the Bronco™ CRT's tines rotate in the opposite direction of travel. This creates a digging action that breaks up hard-packed and clay soil far more effectively than standard forward-rotating designs, cutting down on repeat passes.
Built To Take A Beating
10" bolo-shaped steel tines slice, chop, and turn soil instead of just scraping the surface
208cc OHV Troy-Bilt engine provides the torque needed to power through dense, compacted ground
13" ag tires improve grip and balance across uneven terrain
Durability Where It Counts
Cast iron gear casing with precision cut bronze gears in the transmission
Limited lifetime warranty on the transmission, plus a 2 year limited warranty on other components
Adjustable depth stake for precise control over tilling depth
Real Savings
Counter-rotating tines break up tough ground in fewer passes, saving time and fuel per job
Cast iron transmission construction reduces the chance of costly gear failure
Lifetime transmission warranty protects the most expensive component to repair
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Gardeners and property owners working with tough, compacted, or never-tilled ground can't afford a tiller that just spins its tines without making progress. The Bronco™ CRT is built with counter-rotating tines and a cast iron transmission backed by a lifetime warranty, so it keeps cutting through hard soil long after lighter machines stall out. For anyone who needs to break new ground the right way, this is the tiller built for the job.
