If your runnin' in rocky soil you'll be changing blades frequntly. I owned a Iseki 1460 (I think that's the number) and I wound up completely rebuilding the rotor shaft with flanges that took two bolts (Kingkutter blades) instead of the original rectangular socket with one bolt. I also made all new drafting lugs out of 1/2" plate as the original grey market tiller was not up to the soil I work in. The gear head and side chain held up okay though. I had a lot of time and materials into it and used it 'bout 5 yrs. then sold it and bought a 6' Kingkutter. The blades for your machine are available with a little searching, but they will be kinda spendy and might not last, depending on the work load. bjr
