County line tiller

[YesDeere]

Can Anyone tell me if the 60" county line tiller will work with my I Match?

Been using my dads Deere tiller on my 4310 and I want my own. Don't want to spend a lot but want my own. Anyone have experience?

Have a pretty big garden but very easy soil so not much abuse and not a lot of time it will get used.

Thanks

As long as the tiller is a Cat 1 and you have the bushings to fit, I don't think you'll have a problem.

Have fun.

Before getting the CLT, look around at you local agg rental place. I got my Ansung for a song as they were rotating equipment out of their fleet. They do a two rear rotation regardless of use.

Also read up on the tiller threads, as there is a lot of information to learn, like gear driven is better than chains, and tiller weight and construction can make a huge difference.

Good luck.

Also ask DAD if he wants to sell his - never know he may want to upgrade :thumbsup:

Interesting fence. Are the lower wires to keep out rabbits, etc? What is the upper wire for, don't deer just jump over it? Or do the get snapped and stay away?

I tried to buy the old mans tiller and he laughed! Haha.

I would like to have new and have $1500 to spend, So that's why I was looking at the county line. It looked like a solid unit and almost identical to the king kutter


On the fence: the lower wires are to keep the ground hogs out and the upper for deer. Yes they can jump over it but they usually walk into it and zap themselves. Or they have a taste of the peanut butter on the aluminum foil that I left for them. That really works!! Either way I don't have a deer problem and I have a lot around

The advertising description of the Countryline 60" tiller makes no mention of being Quick Hitch compatible, so I would assume that means it is not. Check carefully with the manufacturer before proceeding.

Follow up.

I went ahead and bought the county line tiller by tarter from TSC. It fits the imatch perfectly. I say all this so if some one does a Google search for info this will show up.(like I did )

I have not busted ground with it yet but I can't wait to and it looks like a solid unit.

Thanks all for the responses

[YesDeere]

You know it!! Hopefully tomorrow

That's the same one I bought they work great. I like the tater version better than my one King Kutter I had.

I don't care what kind of tiller anyone buys, but I call BS on the claim that gear drive is better than chain drive!

For the size tillers we are talking about here, "IF" the chain drive tiller isn't one of those under built cheapo tillers, I'd take chain drive, over gear drive every time!

Going into my third season with a Tarter-built County Line 5 ft tiller. no problems and well built unit.

Curious ... Why?

Curious ... Why?

Because they will take more abuse (shock loads) when you are hitting trash without breaking and are easier to keep adjusted over their life span.

I'm going on my second thousand acres with one of my chain drive tillers, and you wouldn't believe the rocks/boulders/motor blocks/starters and about anything and everything else I've hit with it over the years. It just keeps on keeping on, it's made me a LOT of money over the years...

Both of my other chain drive tillers have the original chain/sprockets in them too...

The one thing that surprised me with our 5' Countyline/Tarter tiller was the number of tines that have broken so far (4). Had me wondering if a bad batch had gotten into their production line.

BTW, if ordering replacement tines, you tell left from right by laying the tine down sharp side up with bolt holes at the top - the direction the bottom points determines the left/right designation of the tine.

I broke my dads 647 john Deere tiller. It is lighter in construction and bounces a lot on hard unbroken soil. Chain snapped and the cover was split where the tensioner kept slapping backwards.

I bought my own king kutter tiller, four year, zero problems. Way heavier, no bouncing.

I owned a Landpride 1558 rotary tiller which is chain drive, for about ten years,put a fair amount of hours on it, never had any problems with it.

Left/right when you're facing it or looking at it from behind?

Ok, you have owned your tiller for over a year now, can you give us any feedback.
