Tiller JD 673 tiller vs ???

[luckyfarmer]

I am looking to purchase a 72" tiller for my JD 3720. does anyone have any wisdom they would share with me? I looked at the 673 from JD, but not sure if its worth the 3K they want to charge me? What Say You??
Thanks

I think 3K for a 6' tiller is on the steep side of things but I have never seen the JD tiller. You can buy a good tiller in the 6' range for about half of that.

Look at the King Kutter II for the best bang for the buck. Check out Land Pride and Woods if you want to spend more than the King Kutter but less than the John Deere.

I have had the JD, King Kutter and a CCM. I wouldn't get the 72 inch JD. It isn't built as well as the KK. My CCM is a recent purchase and a much larger unit (8 foot). It is a beast of a machine and very well built.

If their 72 inch models are built as well I would consider it as well.

I am impressed with both my CCM M-160 (58") tiller as well as their customer support ! Jay

Luckyfarmer,

JD 673 vs. Phoenix 74" Tiller by Sigma (Made in Italy) Let's see how they match up. First, we would like you to keep in mind that John Deere makes a great tractor, John Deere does not make Tillers. They buy from a manufacturer, then brand them John Deere, and you will pay the premium price for the name.

JD673 $3,000
Phoenix 74" $2,495 (shipped to a business or terminal inside free shipping zone)

You can watch the video here. It is very informative about these tillers.
