Tiller Tiller - FarmKing

[conklinfarms]

Does anyone have any info on a FarmKing tiller? I know Farm King is owned by Beuhler. Does somneone else make this and it's just marketed under them? I need a good tiller for my Kioti CK25.

CCM tillers, King Kutter and Bush Hog are the best tillers. No need to specify why. The have service, dealers and quality suppliers.

I just bought a Buehler 60" model. It was painted New Holland blue but has the Buhler and model number right on it. It is a very heavy looking unit. I just purchased it this spring but have tilled about a 1/2 acre with it. I had a clutch problem but it was my dealers fault as he did not set it up right. The dealer left the clutch dis-engaged. So the clutch plates were replaced, adjusted right, double checked by me and is working great. I have looked at other tillers mostly from TSC and Fleet Farm and there is no comparison. I can't tell you much about CCM as the the post above says. I do like buying local so if there is problems I can deal with it.

I have a Buhler/Farm King snow blower and am very happy with it. It is moderately priced compared to some of the other brands I've seen but I don't see any design flaws with the unit and its better than many I've seen. I've looked at the Buhler/Farm King box blades and landscape rakes. They also seem to be well built. For both the box blade and the landscape rakes, I think Midwest is a better designed brand (personal opinion!), pricing was comparable between the two brands. I would be happy with the Buhler/Farm King brand for either of those implements. So while I have not seen their tiller, I would probably trust it based on my experience with the snow blower and my observation of their other implements. The endorsement from "murph" is icing on the cake for me.

I have the Farm King 44 inch model. It has spent a lot of time working in rocky fields and preformed well for me.

I have seen their product painted orange with Kubota stickers on them.

They manufacture the tillers in Manitoba.

Can not make any comparison to other tillers as this is the only one I have had experience with.

If desired could post a picture of the rocks it has found.

You know I can't say anything about most brands out there. Only I can say that when I look at the ones from TSC and even used one from TSC on a few occassions and the ones at Fleet Farm it just seems to be a difference in quality. Heavier metal, blades seem so much sturdier and larger. There are many quality brands out there and the less expensive ones for the most part will do what most people need. Some will only use a tiller a couple times a year for any hour at most. Some will use them a lot more. I am one probably in the between. Here is some close ups of my Buhler. As far as hitting big rocks, yes I pulled one out that was larger than a football. My daughter was tilling in a new area a few nights ago and the rock was so large the slip clutch started slipping and the tractor gradually slowed down until it died. The clutch slipped the way it was suppose to and daughter learned that when it does that she is to lift up or hit the clutch. That rock is one large on and I don't have it out yet to tell you how big it was.

But next post will be some close-ups but it still is one the tractor so it makes it tough for real good ones.

and here is my pride and joy. Daddy's little shadow. In fact she kind of said the tiller could be her birthday present this year. She just tilled a row and now is making a path with the wheels. She will plant in between. And she started tilling on this day while I was in the house. She loves the tractor as much as me.

Seat belt is on but I did tell her never to wear flip flops while driving the tractor.
