So I am looking to buy a new pto 5 ft tiller for my 40 hp tractor. My local coop has kodiak brand for 1650 and a local seller has lowery brand for 1400. I know the kodiak also makes the kubota implements. Anyone know which is heavier and better

I was told by my Kubota dealer that Kubota implements are made by Land Pride which is now owned by Kubota.

Around here Kubota is selling Land Pride tillers. How wide is your rear tractor tire width. You might be better off with a six foot tiller. You want to make sure you can cover your tire tracks. I have a six foot Land Pride tiller and it does great. My neighbor has a six foot older Kodiak and it is also nice and works well.

Tillers are self-destructive implements. The heavier the tool, the better they behave. My only experience is w/ befco, satisfied w/ the product however it is used for aeration.

I run a 6' easily on a '65 Ford 3000D and bought 6' to cover my tractor's tracks. You can www Tractor Data for stats on it.
I bought one several years ago, my first. Looked at a lot of them and in general they are all sturdily built, seem to all use the same gearbox with a made in China tag on it, just different companies do their bracing differently. I have 54 tynes which is common and seems to be the HD model.
TSC had their Bolens produced unit which is what I bought. I put it through dry, heavy clay and it made a lot of noise but pulverized the soil. HP is not an issue. Could probably run it with 20 and have some to spare....but it is like 700#...heavy for a little tractor but the 3000 with no weights did ok with it, no front end bobbling or loose steering.
The ground speed and tail gate height you set determines how fine a job you do. The slower and lower the finer. For a fast weed to soil incorporation they work great. On stemmy grasses, I'd brush hog first to chop them up into little pieces so you don't have stems wrapping around the main axle.
TSC has them on the Labor day sale right now.
