I think six weeks is not to bad to wait, try ordering a new combine and see how long that takes.

Sorrry, but the King Kutter II gear driven rottery tiller is a tank, and an excellent implement.

x2 Mine has been great and does a nice job busting sod. No problems after three seasons and several acres of sod/rocky soil.

King Kutter KKII tillers are as tough as they come. Most of their product line is light weight "consumer grade" equipment, but the KKII tillers will hold their own against ANY brand. I've used one for the better part of 9 years now, mostly behind a 60+hp tractor. Mine has enough hours of use to completely wear out one set of tines and well on the way to wearing out a second set. It has been hammered! I once tilled 55 acres in one field. (Mixing soil amendments into rocky clay soil) I've hit pieces of re-bar...wrapped a 20' length of 1/2" rebar around the rotor.....Hit rocks by the hundreds.....Not the first whimper out of the tiller.....
You probably won't find me recommending any other King Kutter products, and for that matter, I don't recommend ANY products unless I KNOW they'll live up to expectations. I'm not in the business of promoting someone elses business.....That said, I won't shy away from suggesting a KKII tiller to anyone.

I agree.. I've cut up burried lumber, ant mounds, scalped big rocks nad stumps, etc. popped many shear pins.. but havn't broke a gearbox yet on my KK.
now.. at work, we have a couple light duty throw away mowers, and after a steady diet of roadside stuff like concrete blocks, stumps, and batteries and tire rims.. yeah.. some stuff does get beat up.
usually it's the driveline getting sloppy and then the output shaft bearings get a lil wear and the seal leaks.. hole in the input shaft for shear pin starts edding as well as deforming the yoke.. etc.. but then.. a light duty mower wasn't made to eat a steady diet of large heavy objects.
we did the math.. was cheaper to buy ( then ) a 500$ mower every couple years vs a 1500$ mower that essentially lasted the same amount of time. IE.. you can hit just so many batteries and tire rims before a gearbox gets loose.. tire rim don't care if it's a 500$ KK or a 1300$ job.. etc..
course now.. the price margin on the higher end ones has gone up a lil, and the price margin on the cheap ones has gone up alot. cheap new hog now is 600-850$soundguy
