Tiller Land Pride Tiller Criticisms, Anyone?

[MVVineyard]

Greetings
I have the opportunity to purchase a 48" Land Pride tiller with only 10 hours on it from my local Kubota dealer.
I have a B7510 with FEL, R4 Industrials. I am not sure what the width is, but I plan to place the back tires to the widest track setting for hillside stability.
The dealer wants 1200 bucks for the tiller, my question to you knowledgable folks is;
1.) Is the Land Pride tiller a good one?
2.) Would I be better off buying a gear drive tiller, I believe the Land Pride is a chain drive tiller?
3.) Is it possible to get more bang for my buck in a different brand tiller, any suggestions.
<font color="red">Do any of you have criticisms with Land Pride brands? </font>
I read the other forum about the KK tiller and everyone is raving about KK.
Thanks

I have a 50" side-shifting LandPride tiller. I think the model number is RTA-1550. I can't say anything bad about the tiller, it has worked flawlessly last spring/summer/fall. I probably put about 20 hours on it between tilling the garden (3+ acres) plus tearing up and reseeding part of the yard, etc. But I only paid $1050 for it brand new when I bought it about 10 months ago. Just wondering if there is some room in your dealer's price to come down a bit?

Not a criticism but I bought a 52" gtc 52 for $ 1,050.00 brand new last summer which works awsome on my B7500 with R4's.
