Tiller roto tillers

[DirtHauler]

I own a CCM MR172 and got it from Dave's, me the Mrs. just made it a day trip to Red Bluff picked it up, went over the freeway and wondered around TSC for awhile, then went and had lunch and headed home, could've bought a 'tiller from any number of local dealers but it was still cheaper to make the trip and buy it and besides, the CCM gear drive takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. I've tilled alot of ground with this machine and hit alot of stuff; rock, concrete, rebar, old water pipe and an old tire iron with no damage to the machine, so needless to say...........I'm sold!

hello everyone new to this site. i have a nh tc30 i have been looking at tillers and have sort of narrowed it down a land pride tiller or a ruhne the dealer that has this one sais the ruhne is lot heavier and can take a lot of abuse. any feedback that you folks can give will be deeply appreciated...

I'm not lookin' for a tiller, but enjoy hearing there people from WA and OR participating on this site. I was feeling a little lonesome. I'm over in the dusty side of WA, Tri-Cities, lotsa good farmin' in the sand with some irrigation. I do a lot of neighbors gardens here mostly just for expense money. I've a 58" grey market tiller I almost totally rebuilt, got way more in steel and welding and hole drilling, but it's pretty durable now. The people looking at the new CCM's are doin' the right thing cause rebuilding old stuff ain't alway the cheapest route. I know. bjr

Does CCM have any retail outlets in Georgia?

OK Washington folks. I am interested in a tiller too and have a trailer that will carry several or a few ton's worth anyways. I have a need for one for at least an acre's worth of my own tilling. I like the concept of gear drive tillers and this seems like a decent side job tool.

Has anyone been able to rent a tiller such as this for their tractor? I have heard a rumor of a local rental yard that has them available and with several day's worth of tilling to do the rental fees may get me on the way to just buying one.

Only 610 miles from Tacoma to Dave's, 9 hours on the road, 17 mpg, for 250 bucks worth of fuel.

The decent MR series looks to be in the 1600$ range unless the CCM posted prices are just "suggested" retail. Care to comment on that Mark?

 

[DirtHauler]

Highbeam......... I know it would cost you at least $500 for either Mark or Dave to truck ship it to you or to me and I'm only about 300 miles from Dave's. I believe it's based on shipping weight. So a days drive would save you $250 !
For me to rent a tiller localy, it would be $200 a day!
If you do decide to buy from Dave, call him first to be sure he's got the size you want.

I contacted Dave and they only have a limited supply but the prices on CCM's site are not what you get. It sounds like you need to be at CCM's lot for that price kinda like buying cheese at the Tillamook factory.

I will have to check rental prices.

I spent $1350.00 for a M-160 with $285.00 freight charge delivered to my door last year. Jay

JD tillers are made by Sicma and Howard.
Frontier Tillers are made by Maschio.

The exact same models are available under the MFG's labels for hundreds less.
You will have to search the world to find values like a CCM Gear Drive tiller.

What is a ballpark figure for a mr-160 sent to Rome Ga 30161. Could not find prices at any internet sites>
Thanks

Send a PM to CCI or click on dealers at the top of the page and go to his site. I believe there is contact info listed.
