King Kutter Rep.

Welcome King Kutter Rep,

I don't if this has been asked yet, but I own a KKII tiller that I purchased from TSC. I see that TSC now sells a tiller that looks like a King Kutter, but has a different name on it. Is this made by your company, or someone else that make a close copy of a KKII tiller?

go to the first page of this one or the link thats here, it covers that.

King Kutter Rep...

I've got a new JD 2305, which per the manual has an 18hp PTO and 681 lbs lift at 24" off the 3-point hitch. I'd like to go with the TG-48, but it's 'recommended' for 20+hp PTO.. any experience using this at 18hp?

I was also looking at your XB tiller, but it doesn't seem to be offset so I'd be running over my tillin.. and I can't find but one review on it. Is this a new product?

Thanks
John

I'm pretty sure the 2305 is what I would refer to as a sub-compact tractor, which is exactly the type of tractor we designed the TG-48-XB Gear Drive Rotary Tiller to go on.

The TG-48 is only offset, in that it is supposed to cover at least one wheel track on those larger compact tractors. However your sub-compact doesn't need that. The TG-48-XB is ideal for you.

Thanks KKRep.. how long have these XB's been out?

Also, is there a difference in the TG-48-XB-0 model? I found that at one online store with a somewhat lower price then the others (not sure what shipping was). Probably is, just want to make sure it's the same thing as the TG-48-XB.

Also going to call around to some possible KK dealers around my area (45177) to see if I can find one locally.. the ones mentioned on you website are a little far..

I believe they've been out for about three years.

The "O" at the end of the model number is the letter "O" not the number zero. It just means that it is painted Orange.

Let me see about a dealer for you.

I'm in the market for a HD tiller 60" working width. How does the KKII TG-60 match up with the Woods GHT-60.

Those are the specs. One thing you need to do is to check the price. For the money, in my opinion, the King Kutter is a much better value. Also on the Woods, the number of tines per flange is optional between 4 or 6. The King Kutter comes standard with 6 tines. 6 tines, in my opinion, are better than 4. So, no matter what you buy, try and make sure it has 6 tines per flange. Also a gear drive and PTO with slip clutch are ideal.

The gear drive over the chain and slip clutch I've learned are a must have. I got a qoute of 3400.00 for the Woods and around 1700.00 for the KKII. Thats half, how can that be or was somebody putting the screws to me on the Woods.

FYI I edited the weight of the King Kutter. I had the wrong weight. So they weigh basically the same.

I can't speculate on price. Sorry. I will say that there is a reason why we sell so many more tillers than anyone else in the United States. VALUE. It's not just that ours cost less. It's because they are such a good value.

If you look at the specs, IMO, the King Kutter is hard to beat.

KK Rep,

Someone close to me is advertising that he has a new KK 5 ft. tiller for $1250. That seems like a good price based on what I have seen. Are there different models of a KK 5 ft. tiller? Thanks.

Nope. That would be a TG-60.

Hey King Kutter Rep,

Welcome to the TBN web site. Good to see someone from the factory given members some informtion about your products. My company has been a dealer for your products for many years.

I've seen many changes take place with the products and I've been getting good feedback on the recent changes on the new flex hitch systems on the rotary cutters and finish mowers.

I was just woundering, has King Kutter ever thought about teaming up with its dealers to offer 0% financing with the Yard Card financing? Just something to think about.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

 

[dlwalters3]

OK. Thanks. Don't those normally sell for more than $1250 new? Maybe he has had it in stock for a couple of years and trying to move it out. I know the TSC here is sells the 5 ft. county line tillers made by KK for $1700.

It sounds very cheap to me. Sounds like you found a good deal!

Thanks for the info. So far it is hard to beat, it has what I want at a price I can afford. I haven't heard anything but positive feedback by the TBN'ers so I'll travel to my nearest dealer and check them out.

KK Rep,

Can you give me the specs on the TG-48-XB, looking mainly for max tilling depth. This will actually be my first garden so not really sure what the optimal tilling depth is (for some corn, beans, tomatoes, etc), but would like to know for possible future reference..

Thanks
John

KingKutterRep,

First another thank you for coming in and offering your input.

I have a question and a product suggestion.

In your oppinion, how well would the 3ph trailer mover model TM-GN work with a Land Pride QH15 quick hitch?


My product suggestion is a combo trailer mover and bale spear. I would love to have such an implement but it would cost me more time and aggrivation to make one than you could retail it for.
If I were asked, I would like a standard receiver at the bottom with the two short spears, a 2 5/16 on top. I would design so the spears would slide into another standard reciever hitch up top or similar idea for easy removal, instead of having to unbolt it to take the spear off if it interfered with the trailer moving.

Thanks.

The TM-GN should work fine on any cat. I quick hitch. I don't know anything that would specifically preclude the Land Pride model.

Thanks for the product suggestion! I'll pass it on.
