Taylor Way or Sicma Phoenix Tiller

[Chuck Eaton]

I'm in the market for a new 48" tiller for my Kubota BX 2360. The sub-compact tractor has 23HP with 17.7HP to the PTO. I have been told by a dealer that Sicma-Phoenix, made in Italy, makes the best tillers. The Taylor Way looks identical to a King Kutter, is gear driven and is significanlty heaver than the Phoenix. Both tillers have six tines per flange. The Phoenix is approximately $200 more and is chain driven.

Also I have been told that the BX2360 is too low to the ground to use a low profile 12" single bottom plow, designed for sub-compact tractors.

Any suggestions on the tillers or experience with low profile plows with a BX tractor.

Just a thought? You can go to this website and see a video of the phoenix tiller in operation. Everything Attachments | Skid Steer Attachments, Tractor Attachments, 3 Point Hitch Attachments, and Farm Tractor Implements. Hope this helps. BTW, welcome aboard. Go to the video library on the website.

Not to change your mind but check the king kutter at tsc. I think the 48" is $1400.

I have the jd 2320 and 2305. The KK 60" works great on them. Its an awesome tiller. Only $1500.

Thanks for all the help and the Tarter tiller certainly looks like a well built tiller.

Unfortunately for me, the Kubota owners manual for the BX 2360 lists the weight limitation for a rotary tiller at 375 lbs., even though it lists the lift capacity at well over 600 lbs. ???

I have read The King Kutter 48" and Taylor Way 48" are also over 500 lbs.

I am now deciding between a Bush Hog RTC 48" with 4 tines per flange or the Phoenix RT4 48" with 6 tines per flange. I understand both are made in Italy by Sicma. The Phoenix is approximately $200.00 more.

Maybe I can't go wrong with either since they are both under 400 lbs.
