Shopping Tillers, King Kutter brand decent?

Mcaveman · Mar 9, 2015

This has slip clutch and is gear driven for 1400 shipped to my door.

Can't get link to work but blains farm store has a special going right now, it's the Xb48 model.

That,s about what they go for. Should be a good fit for your BX25.

I can sell you a Cherokee TC50 for $1495, same tiller that Bush Hog rebrands. King Kutters parts support is a disaster.

will ship if you like (7173614850) or p/u @ Messicks and it will be assembled and checked over.

This is a very good informational/educational site to learn about implements and they have some great videos as well as delivered pricing. Have never bought anything from them but do love their videos.

I have an 84" and love it but my support from KK has been very bad. I couldn't get parts for my blade or 2 bottom plow and had to fabricate my own replacement blade part and modified plow shares from a competitor to fit my KK after waiting 6 months for parts.

Thanks Harry I think I'm gonna look at other brands.

Love mine, too. Had it for 7 years and it's been bulletproof.
Had to replace clutch friction disc after I fried it (my own fault) - those were available from AgriSupply.
When I first got it, one of the tines was broken, I think due to handling damage on it's trip to the local TSC.
I was able to order the replacement part from their website & it arrived in 3 days.

Ended up ordering the king kutter 48. It was 1434 shipped to door from Blains farm store. By far the cheapest gear driven I could find. I would have did the Cherokee from messicks but it was 500 more for the gear driven . I have a small plot I will be doing so I'm hoping I don't have problems.
