The TB230 features oversized 11-inch lift wheels for increased mobility on uneven terrain and single lever speed control for variable speed.

PERFORMANCE

For those who are tired of medium quality lawnmowers, the TB230 is equipped with a powerful engine that will make you forget about frequent engine malfunctions. In short, this product was created in collaboration with Briggs & Stratton Co., which is the secret of its powerful 163 cc OHV engine. Most buyers rated it high enough in engine efficiency for high quality and stable performance.

However, the best point is Troy Bilt’s patented ReadyStart technology, a revolutionary feature that solves one of the most common lawn mower problems. Thanks to this feature, it is possible to start the machine on the first or, at most, on the second attempt. Although most lawnmower engines need to be turned off from time to time, this product does the job at once.

The brand also promises to provide product support for free if it doesn’t launch on the second try, which says a lot about its reliability. If you value user satisfaction, this model should be for you.

EASY TO USE

Some people will avoid gas-powered lawnmowers, believing they are more challenging to use than, say, a similarly sized electric lawnmower. Recognized in the lawnmower industry, Troy-Bilt understands this perception and has done everything to make the TB230 easy to use.

First, the engine oil system must be checked, but not changed. In regular use, you will never need to change the oil on this mower. Just check every two or three cutting sessions and carefully complete them to the normal range indicated on the dipstick.

The deck washing system eliminates the need to remove chips from under the deck manually. Connect a standard garden hose to the deck wash adapter and follow the instructions.

DESIGN AND BUILD MATERIAL

When it comes to buying high-value tools like lawnmowers, it is advisable to proceed with caution and select products that provide greater user comfort and reliability. Fortunately, this product has a solid steel construction. The situation gets even better as manufacturers provide an all-metal axle for the wheels, slightly extending the product’s life.

Speaking of its thoughtful design, this product has a front-wheel-drive configuration that relieves motor stress users. As a result, the machine is easier to turn for comfortable cutting. Besides, its 11-inch wheels have been significantly improved to provide optimum maneuverability, even in the most challenging terrain.

Also, it offers a more extended platform to create more vacuum, which gives more room for grass to circulate. This feature is not usually found on mid-sized lawnmowers, which makes the TB230 a little more special.

Finally, the single lever control feature impressed us with the user-friendliness it offers, making it easy to adjust the cutting height.

MAINTENANCE

Troy-Bilt TB230 requires minimum maintenance. The engine is designed never to require an oil change. You need to check the oil before your cutting session. If the oil level is on the safety bar’s underside on the dipstick, add some oil. Then wait a minute or two until it stabilizes appropriately and rechecks the level.

If the conditions are extraordinarily dusty or you have a lot of pollen on your lawn, check your air filter every month. Take a small breath with an air compressor or just a hard push to ensure that the 159cc engine is at its best. See will receive the oxygen needed to generate maximum power.

However, Troy-Bilt also supports the TB230 with a two-year warranty. It is slightly better than some of the competitors in this category.

SAFETY FEATURES

The Troy-Bilt TB230 159cc features the standard hand controls found on virtually every ride behind the mower. The self-propelled system also has a speed controller that is easy to use. It allows you to set the mower to the speed you want, instead of pushing it or feeling it pulling you away.
