I just bought this tiller and it will arrive delivered from Home Depot in a week, so I'm getting ready; nice to see a woman can operate it; I have sandy soil in the AZ desert, and have used a large tiller on it before, so I know I can handle it. Thanks for the review; it helped a lot to get me ready for the day it arrives!
Thank you for a great video, Due to unavailability of a good tiller, i was kinda forced into buying one that was used. I got sooooo lucky, for $1,000 i bought a Troy Bilt Horse. I would like to caution those who are thinking about buying a used one, many many many problems could exist, leaking seals at the tine shaft, bad engine, bad belts,,,, etc. The C.C. looks like a really really good deal, the price to quality is nice (I don't own one), and the tines running in reverse while the machine moves forward is a fantastic innovation. If one isn't mechanically inclined, buy a new tiller and take care of it.
The Troy built is far superior , tines are hardened steel, with a cast iron gear case . My IH bent tines in rock even bent into the case I gave up on it!
It’s the perfect width for going between the rows of your crops in a plot. If your doing the entire plot, I would go with a tractor tiller. I like the small ones like this for going down between the rows after a hard rain packs down the soil.
I had a different experience with my Cub Cadet RT65 purchased in 2018. First thing I noticed was that a rock the size of a tennis ball would stall the tines. I used the tiller for two seasons and kept it in a shed when not in use. The metal gas tank rusted from the inside and ruined the carb. New tank and new carb cost $199.51 + tax. My recommendation will be to NOT buy a Cub Cadet.
Had one for less than 2 weeks! The tines are not hardened steel and will bend upon impact with rocks, bent even into the stamped steel gear case that can be damaged . Going with hardened tines and cast steel gear case. Older Troy Built or OUCH a BCD tiller (all gear drive) Down time reliability is important when you have nature doing the planning!
I bought one new I had to tear it apart after 5 years the gear bearings went down so if you have won my advice is to put gear oil in it there is a plug behind the belt pulley remove the belt pulley and the plug and put some gear oil in-or it will go down
Looks like your run reverse tines now will make it dig deeper. I keep us mine yr around to keep grass off. If to stop it leaning on is to till a path down and move over the width of inside between the tires and till another path. Then come back and till the 10 or 12 inches os space and a little kid can run it with one hand. I have one they are strong running. Don’t get the one with HONDA MOTOR good luck 🍀 happy garden 👍
Hello, sir! This is Christine, just north of you. Great to review some of my fave vids of yours, and get caught up on more recent ones. I don't know if you're still answering questions from your older vids, but thought I'd give it a try. Are you still enjoying and using your Cubby Tiller? Thank you, Pete! Please send my best wishes to your lovely wife. ❤
I bought this tiller used, and am having some issues with it staying running while tilling. It bogs down and just dies. Softer soil than what this guy has.
It sounds like the needle valve in the float bowl might be clogging up not letting enough fuel in the carb. You should take the bowl under the carborator off and remove the float with the needle and blow some pressured air through the hole where the needle goes.
I thought it needed a slower forward speed until you said you had the depth setting to shallow. Once you set the depth setting deeper it seems to "do what it's supposed to do". I did read a review that said the same thing about the wheel base being to narrow and it wants to tip over. I'm comparing this to comparable priced Troy Built machines.
Hey Pete . I think if you going to have a garden every year to fill your freezer, maybe you might consider a tiller to go on your tractor. All do respect we, as in you and me is no spring chickens and as big as your garden Is, you can’t go wrong. Maybe it will save your back.
I would have liked to get a tiller for the tractor but all my garden areas are fenced and I would not be able to bring my tractor in to till and my new garden has raised beds
It amazes me reading comments people watch a video and ask stupid questions that have already been answered in the video! Dang watch the video and pay attention!!
I'm working on getting one of these started and I'm wondering about the fuel switch position. There are 3 switches on mine, throttle, choke then one on bottom with a fuel tank symbol. Should that be all the way on when starting or just partially on? The manual doesn't say. Thanks!
The bottom fuel symbol should be on towards the gas symbol when you want to run it. The choke should be on choke when you start it then turn off choke once it starts and the throttle should be on full when starting and when tilling.
What do you mean "how so" there is plenty of ground that has never been tilled, I guess I missed something. Oh, I got it, all ground comes pre-tilled. Hahahahahahahaahaha
junk. stamped case. doesn't like rocks. had case replaced under warranty. the tine shaft housing malled out again. about to throw out. best is the honda gc190 engine
Ive had my cubcadet rt65 tiller
for 8 years and still running strong. best
Tiller ive ever had
definitely would recommend it
👍
@@petebeasttexashomesteading how are you
I want to buy one what you can recommend me ?

Thank you, My tiller still works great and you should have no problems handling it. I would put a layer of compost on your sandy soil and till it in.
that's a fine tiller I will bring you years of service. I've used mine 5 years now no problems use staybill when you store it it works like a charm.
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that you've had no problems with yours. I hope mine is the same.

They work fine if you put tines in rev it does the job like it is suppose to always run times in rev first few runs

First day reverse went out on mine now I've got to find video how to fix
I have that same rt65 it is very strong it works better with the tiller tine in reverse
Just got mine today...im excited now after seein yer vid😎 $738.49 tax, title ,reg..TSC
Good deal 👍 I use mine all the time in our new garden. ruclips.net/video/SHt6obaQRbQ/видео.html
Your side guards are backward, you should swap sides, the adjuster bolts/holes should be to the rear of the tiller.
They are on correctly.

I don't know if you're still answering questions from your older vids, but thought I'd give it a try. Are you still enjoying and using your Cubby Tiller?
Thank you, Pete! Please send my best wishes to your lovely wife. ❤
Yep, I use the tiller quite a bit in my new garden and it works great. I just used it in my resent watermelon video.
Fun fact non ethanol fuel keeps your fuel system cleaner and helps the motor run better and have all the power you Wil need
Spot on! No ethanol gas is all I use
They have 5 models. They worth it?
R Campana Yeah I think they're worth it. Tillers are used only couple times a year and I've had mine for two years now and it's been working great.

The ground speed is WAY to fast for breaking new ground. Troy Bilt can't be beat!
the forward setting is fore after you bust the dirt it fluff's up the dirt.
I thought it needed a slower forward speed until you said you had the depth setting to shallow. Once you set the depth setting deeper it seems to "do what it's supposed to do". I did read a review that said the same thing about the wheel base being to narrow and it wants to tip over. I'm comparing this to comparable priced Troy Built machines.
Yeah it does feel like it wants to tip if the terrain is really rough and lumpy.

I would have liked to get a tiller for the tractor but all my garden areas are fenced and I would not be able to bring my tractor in to till and my new garden has raised beds
Finding a combo garden/tiller tractor these days are about impossible just about have to go to a compact tractor and OUCH!
can u make a video how to turn it on I forgot lol
Thank you for this information; however, do you recommend a less expensive garden tiller that's cordless for hard clay type soil in TX? Thanks.
I still use it in my new garden and it works great.
You have a tractor,and you bought a tiller? You’re doing it wrong.😂
Just got a new cub cadet rider but they don’t have good trillers for them now.
It amazes me reading comments people watch a video and ask stupid questions that have already been answered in the video! Dang watch the video and pay attention!!
How u get the blades to work
Can you put an attachment on it that makes your rows pile up?
No, not that I know of.
when the ground is like that soke it down a little you will like it.
I'm working on getting one of these started and I'm wondering about the fuel switch position. There are 3 switches on mine, throttle, choke then one on bottom with a fuel tank symbol. Should that be all the way on when starting or just partially on? The manual doesn't say. Thanks!
The bottom fuel symbol should be on towards the gas symbol when you want to run it. The choke should be on choke when you start it then turn off choke once it starts and the throttle should be on full when starting and when tilling.
did you do comparison to the troy built tiller, that has somewhat dominated the market for years?
No I haven't, But I liked the fact the the tires and the unit it self was the biggest one I could find in the $800.00 price range.
so u actually broke ground with the RT 65 ? What kind of ground do /did have ?
Hard red dry clay.
When you broke ground first time did you have tines running forward or reverse?
It was in reverse, I tried forward once the ground was tilled but it almost took me for a ride :)
Its doesn't bother u that it has only a year warranty
Is this a Dual rotating tiller?
Yes the tines on the tiller has forward and reverse direction.
daj mi to cudo do prawdziwej pracy, a gwarantuje że, do końca zmiany nie dotrwa ,bez wizyty serwisu się nie obejdzie
+zielogr Maszyna robi dobrą robotę uprawianie ogrodu .
Never been tilled....how so?
This area was a goat pen prior to me making it in to a garden and woods before the goat pen.
What do you mean "how so" there is plenty of ground that has never been tilled, I guess I missed something. Oh, I got it, all ground comes pre-tilled. Hahahahahahahaahaha
It means that the garden area that I tilled in the video was never tilled so you can see how the tiller works on hard ground vs tilled soft ground.
Track not wheelbase. Thanks.
ok, skoro tylko domowe roboty to faktycznie wystarczy. miłej pracy
+zielogr Dziękuję Ci
Very good
Price
I still use it in my garden and it works great.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading ok very good but price
Dude you have got to till deeper than that,,
Fall 2023 this t
junk. stamped case. doesn't like rocks. had case replaced under warranty. the tine shaft housing malled out again. about to throw out. best is the honda gc190 engine
CUB CADET IS JUNK
