;tory dates back to the old Rototiller Corpo-

company that introduced rear-tine rotary
tillage to America in 1930. The first rear-tine tillers
Rototiller, Inc. built in Troy were manufactured in 1937,
in the same building where Garden Way built its first
HORSE Model in 1961. We’re still building our tillers
at the same location.
Over the years, the PTO HORSE Model has been
continually refined and improved. Its performance
and reliability have long been recognized by many
thousands of serious vegetable gardeners as being
unmatched by any othertiller of its size or design.
