Are you talking about the anti rotation chain on the PTO cover? There is no chain on the gear driven KK tiller.

I disected my KK rear blade to find the verticle support twisted like a pretzel. The wall thickness could have been 3/16 but appeared more like 1/8". I replaced this piece with a 3/4" wall pipe and welded it back together. The blade portion appeared to be adequate as the weakest portion caved in first. I bent the verticle mount on a piece of ice while plowing the drive. It was mounted to a D15 Allis without chains.
Now that I'm aware how fragile they are I use it with caution. ( and a 21 hp tractor )

I puchased a rake and box blade from TSC around 6yrs ago. the box blade has extensively been used grading my property and even used for a couple of yard/landscaping jobs. Other than the tip breaking off one of the scarifer's, it has held up like a piece of machinery should. There's quite a few places where rust has begun, but they are kept outside and treated like a hardworking tool. So, while I can't comment on the new stuff, the old stuff should suffice for most everyone's needs around the property.

I just purchased a 60" Countyline tiller on 5-11-11. I tilled my 50X50 garden next day. It is a good piece of equipment. I haven't looked at anything else in that brand, but the tiller is the real deal. Keep in mind you have to put your own grease and oil in it as it comes dry.

The thing you need to be careful with regarding Countryline is that TSC changes suppliers at will. Today I believe a Countryline tiller is made by King Kutter but who knows when that will change.

I bought a box blade from TSC and have had it for 2 yrs.now and it's held up great.When you purchase anything from TSC make sure everything is in the box before you leave.I drove 73 miles up to a TSC in NH that had a ratchet rake in stock there.After getting up there,they had the rake,but not the hardware to mount it. This was the 2nd time something like this happened to me with TSC,so make sure all the hardware and nuts and bolts are in the box,or attached to the implement. All in all,I think most of the implements they have are all pretty much heavy duty.That's just my opinion though.

I, being new to the entire tractor life, bought a Kubota B7510 2 years ago and cut my fields, 6 acres, with a Rhino rear deck. This spring, wanting to play farmer more, I do have plans, I bought 4 pieces of County Line. I have plowed, disced, and drug the 6 acres a few times and nothing has broke. I do need practice with the 4" post hole digger. I pull the tractor off the front wheels. Amateur.

You got that right! The TSC in the Michigan UP where I shop had some Chinese crap called "Darkhorse". The metal was thin and the welds were sloppy. The KK stuff was much better and heavier.

I bought a box blade last year and sold my rear blade. The box blade is a much more versatile implement.

make sure u understand that the KK model u r buying is the light duty model they make! THE HEAVY DUTY MODEL COST 450 more but worth it.!

Actually, right now TSC's County Line rotary cutters and tillers at least are made by Tarter. I was checking them both out yesterday and there was a Tarter label on the tiller and the instruction manual for the rotary cutter was also a Tarter manual.
