We also have a Troy Bilt Horse. I paid $1899 for the Horse 14 years ago. It broke the ground of our garden with it, and has tilled it every year since. It's a beast for sure, 361 lbs and powerful. Turning it is difficult, but it's a super solid machine. Our crazy plan is to sell the Horse and use the Ryobi as its replacement. It's nuts, I know. My thinking is our 70'x30' garden is well tilled, so the Ryobi should be able to handle it and looks like it will be a LOT more comfortable to use. Man, I just hope this wasn't an enormous mistake. I'm not worried a bit about shear pins, that's easy to replace. I am worried about the longevity of an electric garden tool. The Horse would easily last another 14 years. Will the Ryobi?
It does have a good warranty 5 years tool/3 years battery, but there are no factory service centers within 100 miles of where I live. None in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, or Cleveland.
I do remember when it was $499, but I balked at it. At least I got the 10% military discount and I signed up for a HD credit card, that's another $50 off. So It was 489.10 + tax, not bad for a full size tiller. It's our first Ryobi 40v tool, but now I'll be watching for more deals. I could use that kinetic log splitter and maybe a push mower.
