Tiller Back from Michigan with KK2

[pickeringchris]

My trip went perfect today. Left Toronto @ 4:30 am. Arrived in Chesterfield Michigan 8:30 and was loaded and ready to go by 9.
I did hang out in town until Taco bell opened at 10. Lol
Paid my taxes at customs and was on my way.
I am home and unloading was way easier than I thought it would be. I am a new self taught welder and it was good to see my welded d ring held.

Btw, I saved $8-900 versus buying in Ontario. I hate not supporting the local economy but the price difference is just too large. :-(

All I can say is WOW, I would never thought that the difference would be $800 to $900 dollars. I know things like housing vary a lot in the US.. for instance a $150,000 house here in Missouri would be like $700,000 in California but ordinary things, while they may vary some, there is not that big of a difference what you would pay for tiller in Missouri and what you would pay for one in California, at least I don't think so. Oh well, glad you got it and got it all unloaded safely.

We pay a premium on almost everything here in Canada. Don't know why. Sometimes it's taxes. Sometimes it's vendors taking advantage of the lack of competition.

That definitely is a respectful savings. Congratulations.

Can anyone that has one of these tell me approximately how much oil I need to buy for both gearboxes? Nowhere in the manual does it say the amount. Thanks

Some really smart dude said "necessity is the mother of invention". Lol.
Got as close to the door as possible with the mast of the lift truck and slid the thing off the forks.

It was a 450 mile round trip. I could have towed my utility trailer but it really sucks the gas so I decided to put it in the van.
