County Line Tiller any good?

Thanks, it's under a bit of snow right now. Are there visual differences? Mine looks just like both pics..

As they have copied our equipment pretty closely in the past, I doubt it. I've not yet seen one of tarter's tillers in person, so for me, the easy way to tell the difference is by checking the s/n tag b/c they look different.

Is there possibly 1 manufacturer making these and selling the same tillers to different distributors? We sell the Tarter Brand. Ken Sweet

Just my 2 cents but I bought a CL tiller from TSC last year and I am very happy with it. It looks to be very well made and the heavy duty tines do a great job in my rocky soil. TSC had a sale when I bought mine so I got a pretty good price at the time.

Most of the TSC equipment in my area is made by Tarter. Some is Hawkline too. You can tell by looking for the small serial number tag, as it has the actual manufacturer on it. All the TSC CL tillers are Tarter around here and they do not impress me. Maybe they are making a lower end line to sell to TSC.

It may be a Tarter made tiller. They look a lot like the KK line and are all gear drive tillers. Make sure the pto shafts are not black and made in China. Some of the KK tillers got out last year with some cheap black china made shafts. Make sure the shafts are the Italy made.

Thanks for the tip on Chinese drive shafts.....

My 72" KK2 has the china slip clutch and drive shaft its a year old this month knock on wood that's worked fine so far and been a good tiller. I have other issues with it but not with that yet.
