Tiller Buying a used tiller?

[jeff77indy]

I am looking at these three used 3pt tillers and would like to pros and cons of each.

These two are at auction next weekend. A Woods GT60 and a 84" WAC both are in pretty good condition.

The third is a private party with a 6ft King Kutter in very good almost new condition for $1300.

As you can see in my signature I own a 4110 Mahindra.

I figure I can handle both the 5 ft and 6 ft models with the 6 ft being closer to my rear wheel track. The 7 ft I'm not sure if the 4110 would be up to the weight.

Thanks

If you get the WAC,I can help you on parts. Ken Sweet

Not too familiar with those tillers, but you should get one that at least comes within a few inches of covering the tire tracks. You will probably have buyers remorse on a 60". With 33.6 PTO HP on your tractor, the 72" King Kutter (35-50HP Rating) sounds like the best option.

After talking to my banker (wife) I guess I will be pulling the trigger on a new 6ft. model.
The used KK mentioned above has been sold, waited to long.
So it's down to either a KK from Rural King or a Tarter from TSC, they are both the same price.

Thanks

Jeff, Will I be competitive on a New Tarter 5 ft at $1695 and $94 Commercial business shipping or a 6 ft Tarter at $1795 + $94 shipping. I also have the 5 ft Gear drive Hawkline by Behlen for $1595 or the 6 ft Hawkline for $1695 + same shipping? We have them in stock and can get one to you in 1-2 days. You can save an additional 3% off the gross with payment by check. Ken Sweet

I have a Woods GT60 that came with my used tractor. It looks rough but works well. I agree with tractor guy that a 5' tiller is a bit small for your tractor.

Ken what sort of price could we get together on if I pick a 6footer up? I'm not that far from Munfordville, Ky. here in south central Indiana.

PM or e-mail me if you want mcbarsranch@gmail.com

I bought a used KK II, 60" for $950 used. It's in great shape. I put an add on my local craiglist saying I was looking for one and I had a few calls. I was going to buy new, but to me there is not much that can go wrong with a tiller as long as it is kept lubricated and the tines look good. A new one would have cost me over double that. I hate buying new implements just cause of the cost.

Congratulations, Hope you enjoy the tiller. We need pics. Ken Sweet

WOW!!! That's a good deal. I am in the market for a tiller as well and have watched the local Craigslist for over 6 months to no avail. If I buy used, it could be a 5 or 6 footer. If new is the way we end up going, I'm torn between the 2 sizes.
