King Kutter vs Chinese Tillers

[DennisH]

Bottom line is that unless I am wrong - and I certainly have been before - the TSC manager looked me in the eye and lied to me.

I think you might be right.

I think you might be right.

He could have lied to you or he may have told you what he thought was the truth...
A lot of time these managers and employees at stores don't know anything about the products they are selling...
Not taking up for the guy, but I have found that to be the case in many instances...

The manager at our TSC is knowledgeable & a pleasure to work with, so he gets a lot of my business.

Just for conversation on buying from a non servicing type dealer can bite you-

My new KK2 6' tiller had a tine shaft leak at the gearbox and I called Orchelins where I bought it and they said they dont repair them just sell them!!! :confused2:

So I said well I am not working on it for free its brand new for crying out loud people so I asked them to call KK and ask them what to do.

KK said they would send them the seals and pay me $50. Baloney I said I will let it leak and add to it as necessary. It only leaks when I use it and it stops when I do so it could be worse I thought anyway.

Well after the last time I used it the leak has apparently gone away and its full of grease so either the seal finally seated or the paint is wore off whatever least now I can use it w/o working on it yea me and like I said I do like it a lot even when it had the leak. fwtw

That's the problem I think about. What about warranty on something like a tsc product when your out in the field and how long will it take? Sometimes I think would it have been better to use a dealer product?

We have a Female manager and she has helped me with my lawn care products..I did like their birdseed, now it has jumped up quite a bit in price..

Here locally, These type stores take a semi load delivery of machinery and take back to the factory 1/2 a semi load to be reworked for very small to very major problems. These box stores don't work on anything and order parts on demand and usually stock no parts. If you are good at mechanical work and chasing down parts, Box stores are the way to go. Ken Sweet

Looks like it is a Hawkline by Behlen Country. Looks like it is pretty tough! Where can you get these?
