494 specifications

The Troy-Bilt 494 is a powerful and versatile garden tiller designed to make soil preparation an efficient and straightforward task. With its sturdy construction and innovative features, it is a favored choice among both gardening enthusiasts and professional landscapers.

At the heart of the Troy-Bilt 494 is its robust engine that delivers reliable power and performance. The tiller is equipped with a powerful four-cycle engine that ensures consistent torque and efficiency. This engine provides ample power to break up tough soil, allowing users to tackle any gardening project with ease.

One of the standout features of the Troy-Bilt 494 is its counter-rotating tines. This technology allows the tines to rotate in the opposite direction of the tiller, effectively cutting through hard soil and mixing in organic matter like compost and mulch. The counter-rotating action helps to aerate the soil better, promoting healthier root growth and improving overall soil quality.

The tiller's adjustable tilling width is another significant characteristic.

This feature makes it easy to navigate around plants and other obstacles, ensuring that every inch of the garden can be cultivated effectively.

User comfort is also a priority with the Troy-Bilt 494. The tiller comes with soft-grip handles that reduce fatigue during extended use, making it comfortable for gardeners of all experience levels. Additionally, its lightweight design enhances maneuverability, ensuring that users can navigate tight spaces easily.

In terms of maintenance, the Troy-Bilt 494 is designed for ease of use. With accessible components, regular maintenance tasks such as oil changes and spark plug replacements can be performed without hassle. This commitment to user-friendly design ensures that gardeners spend more time tilling and less time on upkeep.
