Tiller Shibaura RS3145 Tiller

Has any heard of the model tiller? I have found a used one for about $600 and was wondering if: 1, you could get parts for it 2, if it is really worth having... There is nothing wrong with it and I think it is the standard rotation we have in the US.

I currently have a Ford 105 4 ft tiller but have upgraded my tractor to a 25 hp pto and the Ford seems a little small. Is it worth the upgrade? I am sure the Ford will sell pretty easy used. The Shibaura is a 60" and will cover both tires of the the tractor.. I currently have a MF 1240 tractor....

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Well I ended up passing on this one... I could not find enough data to make it even worth that price. I did find out it is chain drive and has a shear pin... Only difference from my current Tiller is 1 foot width.. Not really worth that hassle...
