Roto-Hoe tiller

12 years ago

This I have, an old one from the 80s, top of the line, I think.

The manufacturer seems to be OFB(out of business), sadly, like so many others, even Troy-Built...

Its not as good as the Troy Horse of the same era, the gravity center is too high..Stamped steel is not as good as cast iron, but both have their place, along with plastic.

The Roto-Hoe gear shift is pathetic, extremely troublesome, but the Peerless transmission is good.

There may be a Peerless transmission fan club, and there may be more than one Troy-Buit forum/club....but Roto-Hoe ?

Anyone ?

A machine with potential, in need of refinement, this may never have happened..

I have a roto hoe tiller that belonged to my father. The model number looks like SP and the serial number is 80524.
The belts are broken and I can't find a number on them. This tiller was bought from Sears back around 1978 or 1979. It has 5 tynes and is in very good shape. I would like to get the belts for this tiller as it is a very powerful tiller (5HP briggs-Stratton engine). Anyone have any info on this monster and where I might be able to obtain parts and a part list?
