Tiller Rotary Tillers - Sicma Phoenix vs Ansung Terra Force

[ebbkubota]

I run a YJR080 on my Kubota M7040 and probably have about 20 acres on it. I love the tiller and the 7040 handles it fine. I fabricated a hitch which is mounted on the YJR that I use to hook up a 8 foot cultipacker that I tow behind the tiller to give one pass seed bed preparation for small seeds like brassicas and clover. Tilling one field, I picked up an old 20 foot shot of 3/8 chain with hooks on each end. The hooks grabbed onto frame parts under the tiller and stopped everything. The slip clutch spun and when I cleared everything out, there was no discernible damage to the tiller. I'd buy another.

I have a Sicma 72 " tiller.
Run it with my 47 hp tractor .
Love it can turn a green grass yard into a garden in 2 passes. Time to sell the land hoe and discs.
My tiller says Kioti on it but that's just a paint job

Just curious...did you have to cut the PTO shaft down any?

 

[ebbkubota]

No, the PTO shaft worked fine without any modification.

I want to thank everyone again for all of the feedback! I pulled the trigger on the Terra Force YJR80 and it will be at the shipping terminal Tuesday. Woohoo! Now ready for some spring weather and growing some good home grown vittles!

Congratulations. I'd love to see some pics after you get it and have a chance to get it dirty.

Thanks! Just picked it up from the freight terminal and here are some pics to let those interested know that there is "some assembly required".

Thanks for the pics. It looks like all you have to do is the PTO assembly, and probably add gearbox oil.

Looks great.

Congrats. You're going to like it. What was your cost delivered?

Be careful moving it around. Its built like a tank. You will absolutely love it in the ground. Happy tilling.

PS one tip - take a wrench and check all the bolts, and do it again after a bit of use. On mine I find one that needs snugging up once in a while.
