554 specifications

The Troy-Bilt 554 is a powerful and reliable garden tiller designed to provide efficient soil cultivation for both novice gardeners and seasoned landscape professionals. This compact yet robust tiller combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making it an indispensable tool for anyone looking to enhance their gardening experience.

At the heart of the Troy-Bilt 554 is its engine. It is equipped with a 208cc OHV (Overhead Valve) engine that delivers ample power to break up tough soil with ease. The engine tends to run efficiently, ensuring a smooth operation while minimizing fuel consumption, which is a major advantage for extended gardening sessions. The tiller’s transmission system features a dual-gear design, offering greater versatility in operating speeds. This allows users to easily adjust the tilling depth, whether you're preparing a new garden bed or loosening compacted soil throughout your yard.

One of the standout features of the Troy-Bilt 554 is its 54-inch tilling width. This wide coverage allows for fewer passes over the same area, enabling quicker completion of tilling tasks. The counter-rotating tines are designed to penetrate the soil more effectively than conventional tines, resulting in better soil aeration and improved mixing of organic materials. This adds to the overall health of the soil and promotes stronger plant growth.

The tiller also boasts a user-friendly design, featuring adjustable handlebars that provide comfort for users of different heights. The adjustable depth stake enables precise control over tilling depth, making it a breeze to tailor the tilling process to your specific gardening needs. The robust construction of the Troy-Bilt 554 enhances its durability, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of regular use in diverse soil conditions.

An additional benefit is the ease of transport and storage. The Troy-Bilt 554 is equipped with large, heavy-duty wheels that make maneuvering across uneven terrain straightforward. Safety features, such as an automatic shut-off mechanism, ensure that the tiller remains safe to operate.

In conclusion, the Troy-Bilt 554 stands out for its combination of power, versatility, and user-friendly design.
