Think ive decided on getting a tiller for my garden and food plots. Was looking at used ones and for the price you might aswell buy new.. looking at new 4ft-5ft tillers in the $1600-2200 range, seems that most of them are made in china. How are these things holding up? Or am i better off waiting and looking for a used usa made one?

King Kutter makes them in the USA with . . . 1/2 the parts from China.
Kuhn has them too, made in Wisconsin USA, however they are pricey.
There are a few tillers made in Italy. Those are called rotary cultivators.

The rotary tiller tines and drive are China, the rest is USA steel all fabricated and built in USA like that.
I have a disc Harrow, All is USA with the exception of the discs and bearings. And its all stamped CHINA on the casted centers. See below, everything in black is CHINA and everything in yellow is USA on the King Kutter.
