Anyone have any experience with a Best Co or Farmers Helper FH TL 125 rotary tiller....A little late because I ordered one but just curious...Price was 1189 with free shipping and no tax....Going on a Kubota B2601....Thank you...:)

Let us know how you like it, I have never seen one before and it looks like you got a good deal on it, the one I seen was 1500 + free shipping.

Certainly will...I went directly thru their website...Bestco ...I did call them and they seem like real nice people...Its a Mom and Pop kinda place in Oregon, also Amazon had five, five star reviews...Dave

I used my roto tiller a couple of times...As far as Im concerned its a great investment...It came from Betsco and is a Farmers Helper...I use it on a Kubota B2601, year 2019...I had a couple of forks which I clamped on to the bucket and took the tiller off the Fed EX semi ....No problem...Put it in my Garage/shop took my six inch handheld grinder and cut the metal frame it came with off....I can't say enough about the packing...Metal Frame, covered with plastic wrap which had no rips or tears..The accessories came in a cardboard box inside ..No missing parts...I backed the tractor up to it and sized it to the roto tiller and went to work...I followed the instruction booklet with no issues...The PTO driveshaft needed no amending, for the tractor , that was great...I had to leave town the following day so I spent most of that day, it arrived around one PM and a half day when I came back but I didn't stress my 72 year old body and it was pretty warm..I also welded three hooks I got on the bucket so time wise I think it was decent..Its a heavy duty unit and well built IMHO...You can read more about it on Betsco's website and a video is available on you tube...The biggest PITA I had was adjusting the PTO driveshaft clutch...I have rebuilt six tractors and modified fast hitch implements but never monkeyed with the PTO clutch...I was a little nervous about that as I didn't want to cause damage to the tractor....But after the second adjustment as I was trying it out I caught a rock in the end tine and it wedged against the frame of the tiller...It was sight unseen and I was washing the tines off to look further in to it as I was tilling manure and soil together, when I saw it as I was hosing the tines off...Bottom line it wedged the tiller and the clutch worked...I do not have any regrets in purchasing the tiller...I went thru the website and the price was cheaper, TL 125 model by the way, And they had a 65 dollar discount off , which they still have going btw, and the price was 1207, free shipping and no tax...I paid for it with my credit card which gave me another 1.5% cash back , so it cost me 1189 if I recall properly...Would do it again in a heart beat..I've used it twice for a short total of about two hours each and its great..And for those who are into Orange , thats the color it came in and its very close to the Kubota 2601...Any questions I would be happy to address if I can...Dave
