72 Tiller & DK40SE HST

Especially when KK makes such an excellent unit for like half that. Don't expect anything over 1000$ for a used tiller due to this. That said, I may be interested....

The KK tiller in that size is at least $1600 plus tax etc. Some guys just gotta have green everything and are determined to pay a premium for it so i wouldn't be quite as pessimistic. My Price is Right final answer is $1400!

KKs are that high now? I haven't priced them for a couple of years. Maybe a regional thing but point is that anybody looking at a used tiller will always be able to compare your price to the most excellent KK tiller. The used price for any similar feature tiller must be much less than the new price for a KK.

I agree that the KK is excellent and cannot see why rational person would pay more but then again the color green does cause some folks to behave oddly.

I havnt tried seeing what my old JD 60" tiller will do behind the new Kioti. Im wondering if ill have to sell it . im thinking that the tires are so much wider than the unit. Maybe i can build an offset for it so it covers one side of the tire track. I paid $2,200 for it, and have hardly used it much. hate to have to low ball it to sell it, but no one wants to part with their $$$ these days.

Here's another 2 cents for you:

Personally, I feel that a lightly used JD with minimal wear on the teeth would be equal in value to a new King Kutter. I know that I could resell the green for more $ down the road.

I recently was offered a new last year's 60" KK tiller for 1350 cash/check, still in the crate. IslandTractor probably pegged your possible sale price right on the money.

Back to the OP question: I tried a 65" rental this week and had no problems running full depth behind my ct335 (26.5 pto hp). A 72" is in my future.
