i've had a KK 30" scoop since oh.. 97 or so... it's paint's faded a lil now ( old red style paint )

past that. it's as solid as the day i got it. it's moved many yards of dirt. heck. i used it and a yanmar 1700 and an 8n with a 5' box blade to finish outthe back / side of my house pad where i live now.

FWIW, From my experience, I would get rid of the pto extension asap and get the correct length shaft. The extensions always cause excessive vibration strain on the implement driveline, implement input shaft bearings and tractor pto bearings. Ken Sweet

Thanks for the advice Ken I do think the local store has longer shafts would I be better to go with heavier shaft since my warantee is no good anyways?

 

[Soundguy]

go with a shaft class rated for your intended pto load

If your slip clutch is setup correctly, a series 4 or 5 metric shaft should be good. Ken Sweet

From reading the reviews about the kk tiller, I got the impression that they weren't very good to deal with. I still bought mine as the reviews for the tiller itself were very good. I bought through TSC so I figured any problems would be dealt directly with them. I have the 5 foot one. no problem at all. I would guess its just a bad joint and a bad CSR. As soon they start asking the tractor details, you know where the are going with their line of questioning.

Thats funny! Thats exactly what I was thinking when he started asking questions. Should of lied I guess. I would at least felt a little better!

Maybe they use engine hp because a lot (maybe the majority) of what they sell is rear-blades/ blox blades and subsoilers and stuff like that where pto hp doesn't matter. Easier to just standardize how they rate things, instead of "we'll use pto hp for mowers and tillers, but then engine hp for pulled implements." Stupid I know, but if they don't have competent customer service people, it would make it more idiot-proof.

I also believe that you were so close to the rating anyway, they shouldn't have made an issue of it.

Idiot proof.....haha.....that's admitting they have idiots working for their own company.


Still good point and you maybe completely correct.

I bought a longer pto shaft today and got rid of the pto extender. Made a few passes on the garden today and so far so good. Thanks for all the help!
