The Troy-Bilt 664DM and E666MM models are well-regarded in the realm of outdoor power equipment, particularly within the segment of garden tillers. Both tillers are designed to deliver exceptional performance, making them ideal choices for home gardeners and landscaping enthusiasts alike.

The Troy-Bilt 664DM features a robust 210cc engine that provides ample power for breaking up hard soil and preparing garden beds. Its 18-inch tilling width allows for efficient coverage, making quick work of larger plots of land. One of the key features of the 664DM is its dual-direction tilling capability, which means it can till forward and backward. This innovative design helps to improve soil aeration and allows for a more thorough mixing of soil, compost, and nutrients. With a convenient depth adjustment feature, users can easily modify the tilling depth to accommodate different gardening needs, ranging from shallow tilling for seedbed preparation to deeper tilling for planting.
