What a better place to post this than the "Attachments" forum!

I just wanted to say WELCOME to TBN and THANK YOU for becoming a member! I wish reps from other manufacturers were here on TBN!... Sure would help out a lot on some of the confusion and misleading information.:thumbsup:

By the way, I do own a 5-1/2' King Kutter box blade and I like King Kutter products... Soooo, next time I get ready to make an implement purchase can I just say that I know you and prepare my self for a big discount?:laughing:

Let me know when you're ready for my e-mail address so I can retrieve, print out, and redeem my Discount Coupon Code.:laughing:

Thanks for joining, King Kutter Rep. We look forward to getting the straight dope from you on all your KK products.

I have a number of KK products that were purchased based on cost/build quality/features valuation and have been very satisfied with their performance. I have also had very good service when ordering replacement wear parts from the website.

My hope is that the information you get from all of us, here on TBN, gets incorporated into the design of future KK products. There is always room for improvement and this is a good place to get field data.

I have Advertiser under my profile picture. I would think, that is because I support TBN and promote my products. Does the King Kutter Rep have "advertiser" under his profile? Ken Sweet

I don't know if he's a paying advertiser, but he did join as a manufacturer.

 

[Ford850]

So far he hasn't tried to sell anything. He is offering a valuable service by answering questions and dispelling negative rumors about the KK products. Should he have to pay as an advertiser for doing that?

 

[Agrantina]

Absolutely not!! Inside info is great and if he works for KK thats a plus...But to be fair to the payed advertisers someone would have to draw a line.. Knowledge should always be free to give.. Question still stands where are KK gear boxes made?

No they do not have to pay, this is a free board. Ken is an advertiser, and it says that by his name and i think he has an add or something so he is a paid member and thus can sell in the clasifieds or something

I had a KK 60 inch rear finish mower for about 5 years. No major issues with it, but I did think that idler pulleys should last more than 2 seasons doing one residential one acre yard. Finally sold it on CL and went with a Z turn.
However, when I went to get new pulleys at the local TSC, I might as well have been at a florist asking about those parts. When they finally did come up with a part #, it was going to take a week or more to get the part. Not good in late spring when the grass needed to be mowed about every third day.
I got online and ordered directly from KK. Part there in 2-3 days and machine was up and running again.
Another issue with the local TSC, they charged me a setup fee. I bought the machine over the phone because they only had one left and I didn't want to miss out. I assumed it would be ready to hook onto the tractor when I picked it up. When I picked it up, I had to do everything to it. No oil in the gearbox, no wheels installed, PTO shaft still separate from the machine and still strapped to a pallet. I wonder what the heck was set up on it?
I complained to the manager and demanded my setup fee back or else he would get the mower back and have a very disgruntled customer. According to him, "setup" only meant uncrating the thing. They refunded the fee and I kept the mower.
But as I say, that was a TSC issue. KK was right there when I had to order parts online or via phone.

Question still stands where are KK gear boxes made?

AndyG

He answered this question in other posts regarding the KK products and where they are made.

"King Kutter products are MADE in the USA. Tiller rotor bars are made here. The flanges are made here and welded onto the rotor bar. The top of the deck of the rotary tiller is formed in our plant. The deck for the rotary kutter is cut and formed in our plant, as are the side rails. We manufacture the stump jumper in our plant. The box frame for our discs are cut, punched, and welded together in our plant. The three-point frame is bent, and punched, and put together in our plant in the USA. To me... that's MADE IN THE USA."

"99.9% of the King Kutter equipment is made in the US, in three different factories. Only a few items like spin spreaders, cement mixers, and drag harrows are actually outsourced from overseas (not china).
Like all of the other big implement manufacturing companies, we buy gearboxes from China. King Kutter has extremely good luck with these gearboxes and have an extremely low failure rate. Extremely low."

"I want to address a couple issues in this thread which I beleive have been mis-represented.

1 - Unless something has changed recently the Woods machine also has a chinese gearbox. Woods, Land Pride, Bush Hog, Rhino, and King Kutter, all use gearboxes made in China.

2 - King Kutter has a failure rate of about 1 in 10,000 on gearboxes. I'm speaking of actual manufacturers defects here. So to whomever stated that the gearbox has been the weak spot of the King Kutter Finish Mowers, I'm sorry if you had an issue with one."
