I'm debating the purchase of one of these tillers and am wondering what the major differences are.
I talked with someone at KK, and they said it was exactly the same build... same gear boxes, same drive shaft, same gauge metal, just a narrower hitch for BX size tractors. Initially I thought that was great, but when you look at the weight, their standard tiller is 75lbs heavier than the XB.
Anyone know where that weight difference comes from? Seems like there must be more differences than just lift pin width.
I can get a standard 48" KK tiller here for $1482 out the door on a 0% credit offer, or I can save for about 6 months and get an XB from Anything Attachments for $1449 providing the price doesn't rise between now and then. The only hitch is that the KK here has been on the lot for 2 years and has the standard peeling paint and rust you expect from KK. The manager knocked $100 off for the condition. It's the last of the KKs here... from now on out it's Tartar.
