About Garden Way Manufacturing Company, and Troy-Bilt

Garden Way Manufacturing of Troy, NY was the original manufacturer of the much celebrated Troy Bilt rotary tillers. The mere mention of the name Troy Bilt tiller signified rough, tough, well built, durable, and overall good old fashioned down home performance.

Troy Bilt became as infamous a brand name, as some larger companies with their products such as Wheel Horse tractors, Cub Cadet tractors, Bolens Husky tractors, etc. Garden Way Manufacturing also earned a name in building chippers, shredders, chipper vacs, snowthrowers, etc.Some of the less familiar Troy-Bilt product names include: Speedy Hoe, Tomahawk, Junior Tomahawk, PTO Tomahawk, Super Tomahawk.

But by far the most famous product names of the Gardenway / Troy Bilt line were the tillers; Tuffy tiller, Junior tiller, Pony tiller, Econo Horse tiller, Horse standard tiller, and Horse professional tiller.

Bolens, Troy Bilt and Gardenway were brands that acquired ultimately by MTD Products, also known as Cub Cadet. Troy-Bilt company history courtesy of MTD Products, www.troy-bilt.com
