well welcome back to the Steve Brown show today I got it on the hoist the man just tiller I've
had this tiller since uh there we go right there February the 6th 2006 before we get into it here
I'm gonna show you guys that's what I paid for it back then and actually back then the only
time back then I could get this was through mail order and this is the company that I got
it through and that's how it was sold back then now it sold all over the place the man is tiller
this one here is a two-stroke 50 to 1 mix and guys this thing is the bomb I have a big troy
bilt tiller to know my garden and I don't have anymore I just saw did it over but it was 12 by
48 I believe and once I made one pass you know roller tillering up the garden with my troy bilt
this is all I used for the rest of the season and this tiller is terrific for getting in between
the the different rows you know particular vegetables that you're growing and actually
like I mean I would tell that whole garden like that you know what this teller and I don't know
how many hours I have on it but it's way over a hundred hours easy easy way easy and it just
keeps on going I look after it like everything else that I have now I'm gonna take you out in
a flower bed that I have and it's roughly 50 feet 24 inches wide and it's between me and my
neighbor and all I've done is just taking the flowers out and I'm going to show you how good
this machine is the only odd part about it that a lot of people you know will may notice is you
have to walk backwards and I'd like that myself because I'm not walking over top of of where I've
tilled up and that's the unique feature about this is you're actually walking backwards and
it tells it up now this is old old technology this is from 2006 back then there was no such
thing as electric and we're going to get into that and I'm gonna mention my good friend Helga from
Helga's Pennsylvania cooking and homesteading channel and we're going to get to that at the
end make sure you stay tuned for that so let's take a look at this and let's see it in action
well here we go right here here's the flower bed that I'm going to be rototiller hang up
and a great suggestion from one of my viewers was to put a little flag at the end here so that the
sidewalk plow that removes the snow doesn't hit that curb anymore so here we go and you could see
the flowers are doing quite well in the Sun here but the ones that we're in the shade now I had
to pull them all out guys cuz the frost had got to it about three days ago so this is where I'm
going to rotor tiller up in here I'll bring you back let's get to it okay let's get started guys
well as you can see it does a terrific job could you imagine me taking my big troy bilt tiller and
trying to do them flower beds I have roughly a hundred 150 feet of flower beds that I fill
up every year and guys this does a terrific job there's plenty of these type of compact tillers
out there and they do a great job they're nice and light easy to handle but when I bought mine
way back in 2006 there was no electric option and I have seen over the last couple of years some of
these electrics just fantastic no I don't have one but my buddy Helga had helices Pennsylvania
Cooking Channel and homesteading she has one so this is the bed where you're going to see
how electric actually works and I think it's just fantastic with the electric option you don't have
the maintenance involved you don't have the mixing of the gas and the oil and that kind of stuff and
for those that like an environmentally better option you know this thing here does pollute a
lot and this is what I've got and I'm more likely will go to electric the next one I do get because
I'm in the city here and I don't need you know the I guess the the extra you know distance for
anything that I'm doing I mean today electric is the way to go as far as I'm concerned but
these are a great alternative option depending on what you like but check out Helga's vid I'll put
a link down below for Helga's vid and you check it up but in the meantime you can see this is
the only thing that I found a problem with with this machine now you can order a kickstand and
icy course here you can't go around with a block all the time but if I hit the block out it just
falls down and I like to warm everything up like I did today before I use it and I'm going to take
you along this winter and I'm going to make a kickstand for this and I thought that'd be a
good little project to do but until then thanks for joining in if you haven't seen this channel
before you're welcome to subscribe come back again and let's have some more fun like this cheers guys
you
