The Troy-Bilt Tiller Factory in Troy, N. Y.
WHY WE CAll IT THE
HORSE MODEL TROY-Bll T® ROTO TlllER-
POWER COMPOSTEjl
Throughout this OWNER'S MANUAL or other
Troy-Bilt®sales literature and Order Forms, we
call
your tiller the HORSE MODEL TROY-
Bil T®. The name aptly describes its work-
horse ruggedness and distinguishes this model
from other models that have been available in
the past, or might be produced in the future.
Perhaps
you already know that our company,
Garden Way Manufacturing Company, Inc., is
a once-removed
outgrowth of the original Roto-
tiller Corp., which was also a Troy, New York
based
company from 1934 until 1960.
Rototiller Corp. introduced rotary tillage to
the United States in the early 1930's, and led
the field for over 25 years with many unique
and important developments in roto tilling
equipment. Rototiller Corporation was sold in
1960, and moved
out of Troy at that time.
The business of supplying replacement parts
to former Rototiller dealers and thousands of
Rototiller owners was sold to our present com-
pany, which at that time was called Watco Ma-
chine Products Corp. In 1968, we changed our
name to Garden Way Manufacturing Com-
pany, Inc., to more aptly describe the compa-
ny's full commitment to promoting home vege-
table
gardening as a better way of life.

In 1961, George W. Done, who was then presi-
dent and a founder of our Watco Machine Pro-
ducts Corp., designed a new medium size roto
tiller, which he called the TROJAN HORSE
MODEL.
This machine (which is much the
same machine we build today, with several
small but
important improvements) combined
all of the best ideas from George Done's 25 year
experience as chief engineer and designer for
the original Rototiller Corp.
In 1963, when we were still known as Watco
Machine Products Corp., we were forced to
change the name of our TROJAN HORSE
MODEL
because it conflicted with the product
trademark of a large earth-moving equipment
manufacturer. It was then that we chose TROY-
Bil T® as our tiller trademark, along with the
HORSE MODEL designation. Over the years,
our TROY-Bll T® HORSE MODEL has been con-
tinually refined and improved to the point that
its performance and reliability have long been
recognized
by many thousands of serious vege-
table gardeners as
being unmatched by any
other tiller of its size or design.
