I have a 6' KK and love it. Good for the money. No problems here.

I look at several brands and decided on the 5' King Kutter Tiller, although I should have went with a 6' but very happy with the 5'. They are gear driven and very tough tillers. Many people on TBN have this brand an a lot of information on King Kutter tillers as well as other brands are on this site.

I have a 5' version and it works great. Make sure and buy gear oil and grease, because they don't come with any.

Do a search for King Kutter tiller. Plenty of reading.

Ditto. Great value. Rock solid. I have no idea what extra one gets from tillers that cost more but whatever they are I don't need them. The KK does a fine job.

Yeah, as long as they rip up the dirt and pulverize it without breaking down, that's good in my book.

I have a Massey 1529, with PTO spec of 23 HP. The KK TG-60 recommends 25 PTO HP. Has anybody had any experience using the KK TG-60 with less than the recommended HP. I need/want 60" to be able to cover my tire tracts 58".

My BIL has been running a 72 inch King Kutter on his JD 790 for about 5 years now and thats on this hard ground up here. You should be fine where your at.
