TROY-BILT® Hiller/Furrower Attachment
The H iller/Furrow er is our m ost
popular attachm ent because it has
so m any uses both in and out of
the garden. Featuring “instant on-
off’ versatility, the attachm ent can
be sw itched from a furrow er to a
hiller, and back again, in just
seconds— and w ithout tools. It
m ounts to the rear of the depth
regulator m ounting bracket, as
show n in Photo 9-1.
The furrow er blade can easily
be adjusted w ith the depth regula­
tor to only scratch the surface for
m aking row s to plant peas, beans,
and other seeds set close to the
surface. Low er the furrow er (as
deep as 8 inches) and quickly dig
trenches for transplants like tom a­
toes, celery, peppers, cabbages,
asparagus, m elons and straw ­
berries. You can also use the fur­
row er to dig ditches for drainage
or irrigation projects, for laying
underground pipes, and for trench
com posting.
W ith the hiller w ings attached, it
can be used to cover and kill
w eeds, side-dress plants, cover
potatoes or seeds planted in a fur­
row , and m ake raised bed gardens.
The hiller w ings handle row s from
30 to 40 inches apart.
