Joe,

I can't answer your question directly.

Can you look at the manual?

I have one of their rotary mowers and the manual shows that they have used several sources over the years for their gearboxes, slip clutch components, etc. I don't remember that they were using Chinese components, but I could be mistaken. They have a primitive Web site, but they have responded to my requests for info.

I believe they're Italian.

Just a followup as my memory is failing me. I recalled reading that apparently Taylor Way is now part of King Kutter and that their tillers may be identical. I tried to post a link but it didn't take. Try a Google search -- there is info out there.

Their 962 series 60" looks identical to my KKII (wt, #tines, #flanges, HP, etc) except for color of the paint.

I have. Of course I work for King Kutter, which is the parent company of Taylor Pittsburgh Mfg., who makes the Taylor-Way brand of equipment.

These tillers are MADE IN THE USA. King Kutter has three manufacturing facilities in the US, one of which is in Galliopolis, OH, and that is where most of the tillers are made.

The Taylor Way tillers use the same gear driven gearboxes as what you will find on King Kutter tillers.

I hope you buy one, and I believe that you will be happy with it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Price is $2,600 for a 7' tiller. How's that price-wise?

EverythingAttachments lists a 84" KK for $2799. King Kutter Tiller They are usually pretty competitive on price. So if the TW and KK tillers are identical, it seems to be a good price on the face of it. I'm no expert, so I defer to their judgment.

I don't think they are identical.

FWIW. We picked up a new 72" TW for $1900 a year ago.

If I was in the market for a tiller, (and I will be eventually), I'm certain I'll be buying a King Kutter II.

Whoa. I didn't know KK and Taylor-Pittsburgh were affiliated in any way. I guess maybe I missed something.

To KKrep, I tried like heck to buy one of your products from TSC several years ago and short of setting myself on fire and running naked through the store I couldn't get them to take my money. I went with your primary comp' (Howse) and have never looked back.

FYI for you, take it back to your management, TSC ain't doing you a whole lot of favors and Howse has been super hop-to as an alternative. Besides, their products just look better and offer more.

I really like my 7' KK II tiller. I also highly recommend Bruce on here as McGeesEquip as a seller. I have had no problems with the tiller and the transaction was flawless. The price I bought for was better also.
Hope this helps and good luck

I purchased the TW 962 5' just a few days ago, and Love it. I just need more dept.
1st tiller and new to the out doors so, Trial and error are in my favor.

LOL

dt.2448,

I can not even begin to tell you how much I appreciate that. Thank you. Thanks to all the TBN members and viewers that have help support my company.

Would this be a good option to till 9 acres?

 

[King Kutter Rep]

Yes to the 9 acres. Make certain it is properly greased and check the oil of course. Maintenance is more important than acres. Sometimes this goes without saying but also make certain you have the correct tiller for your size tractor.
