654 specifications

The Troy-Bilt 654 is a robust and versatile garden tiller designed to tackle a variety of soil preparation tasks for home gardening enthusiasts and professionals alike. This tiller stands out in the market due to its array of features and technologies that enhance performance and user experience, making it an excellent choice for cultivating, mixing, and aerating soil in your garden.

At the heart of the Troy-Bilt 654 is its powerful engine, typically a reliable 6.5 HP overhead valve engine that ensures ample power for breaking up tough soil and handling larger plots with ease. This engine is designed for easy starting, allowing users to get to work without the frustrations often associated with starting small machinery. Additionally, the tiller is equipped with a self-propelled drive system, which reduces the amount of effort needed to maneuver the tiller, especially in heavy or uneven soil conditions.

The Troy-Bilt 654 features a rear-tine design, which provides better balance and weight distribution.

With the ability to till from 12 to 24 inches wide, this feature offers flexibility for different garden beds.

One of the key technologies incorporated into the Troy-Bilt 654 is the patented “Forward and Reverse” feature, which enables the tiller to move both forward and backward. This makes it easier to navigate tight spaces and provides better control when tilling. The counter-rotating tines create a thorough mixing of soil and improve seedbed preparation, which is essential for healthy plant growth.

Durability is another characteristic of the Troy-Bilt 654 that gardeners can appreciate. Built with high-quality materials, this tiller is designed to withstand the rigors of regular use. Its heavy-duty steel tines and reinforced frame ensure longevity, while the adjustable handlebars can be set for user comfort, reducing fatigue during extended use.
