I am looking to purchase a used troy bilt rototiller. I am trying to determine if the 1999 Horse model was manufcatured before the line was purchased by MTD. I also have been told that there is a significant differnce to the quality before and after this change. I am curious on any comments in regards to this. The last thing I am trying find out is what did one of these cost new in 1999 and what would be a good price today.

Thank you so much for youe comments
