"WARNING: if you buy one of these things get your torch out and cut the Tangshan off the front." ??? What's this?

Stupid autocorrect!!!!!!!!!!

These "tangs"

Notice the missing paint, that's where my turnbuckles used to be.

I work for a company that only builds gear driven rotary tillers. Obviously I think they're the best!

But seriously, to me, yes they are better. No idler or chain tensioner to adjust, and no chain to wear out. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that you will never have trouble with a gear driven tiller. But I will tell you that our company has very, very few issues with the tillers that we manufacture. Make sure that you keep oil in the gearboxes, and you shouldn't have any trouble with it.

When you couple the six tines per flange, the fact that it's all gear driven, and the fact that we sell so many tillers, I think this tiller is extremely hard to beat. Especially in a sub-compact design. I don't know of anyone else that builds a sub-compact gear drive tiller.

I wish you luck with whatever you decide to purchase!

Hi KKR, you mention you do not build chain drive tillers. I just purchased a used (3 year old)? tiller model tc-48-xb sn 132177k for my Kubota BX2360 that I thought was manufactured by King Kutter. Was this manufactured by another company and rebadged by King Kutter. If this was manufactured by King Kutter, how should it hold up given it is not gear driven? This one looks like it has never been used, tines show no wear.

Thanks
Bob

That is a tiller that we actually purchased from a company and re-branded as a King Kutter. The "tc" in the model number indicates that it is in fact a chain drive tiller. Our current models, which are gear driven, are "tg-48-xb". We stopped buying the chain drive tiller several years ago (three sounds about right).

Thanks for the update KKR. Now that I own this tiller, do you know how the reliability has on this model? Do you still sell parts for it if I need them in the future? Also if I might ask which company/country did you buy this tiller from?

We don't have issues with them, that I know of. It was made in Italy, but I don't recall which company. That's been a while...

There are still parts available.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply KKR. That does help. Have a good week.

Well, it looks like I'll have to get out my 3PH parts and re-install them on the tractor.... had a colleague at work whose husband was looking to sell some implements.

We agreed on a price, so now I'm the proud (?) owner of a Woods GTC40-2 tiller, a Woods RB60 back blade, and a KK TYR-60 landscape rake!

I'll try the tiller on my miniature garden real soon, but am hoping to use it to create some lawn where there are now trees --after removing trees & stumps, of course. Didn't expect to have a tiller quite so soon, but it just happened....

Now all I have to do is figure out where to store them!:ashamed:

And now, more homework!:laughing:
