King Kutter Quality

[1M05]

I thought my back blade was bent until I realized they welded the blade to the frame crooked!

Quality is job none.

I would have thought that you would have noticed that before you used it and taken it back.

I bought a box blade from tsc once, got it home before i noticed broken welds. Took it right back, never bought one again. Cant remember what i was going to use it for now.

I think I would take that back regardless of use. That is unacceptable.

Maybe the OP bought it new??? Maybe he is just now noticing?

But to me....that looks like a used POS blade someone picked up on c-list for $100 or less

Agreed!
That Blade has been around somewhere for a VERY long time!
Look at the rust!
No one noticed the alignment issue until now?

I had a very minor fabrication issue with my new KK tiller.
I called, and they sent me free replacement parts.

I had a minor issue with their new blade also, but I fixed it myself.
From my experience their quality control is somewhat lacking, but their attachments are rock solid.

Their paint adhesion is TERRIBLE!
NO acid wash, and NO primer!

Get what you pay for. I have a few of their implements that’s I’ve purchased both new and used. No complaints from me.

I bought a brush hog that still works well that I’ve literally abused. It’s wore to the point I may be dumping it and getting another new one.

I have a box blade from them that seems to do what it’s suppose to. Granted I’ve not slammed it into anything causing it to bend.

Tiller, I’m on my second tiller. I beat the heck out of the 1st one and broke a few things on it but it took the punishment well. The 6’ I now have has cracked a weld but again it has taken some abuse. If I simply used it as just home owner grade, I don’t think I could wear them out.

Your back blade welds do seem to be a bit crooked. I would not be happy. That said, you can just adjust the three point arm and your good.

Can't speak for their blades. I got a brush bog and tiller that are king kutter and they do ok. I got a little woods blade and a big ox brand blade. The big ox blade is pretty heavy duty. I'm satisfied with my blades.
