Tiller Ponderings!!

Rollcenter · Feb 21, 2011

I am going to buy a Tiller for my Bobcat CT335ss, need something wide enough to cover my tire tracks so looks like 6' it will be. Not a lot of "farming" in my area and the closest thing to a farm store is our local area is Tractor Supply which seems to be full of CLUELESS individuals!!

Since my tractor is Gear Driven, I can keep travel speeds slow. Been looking at The King Kutter cause that was the only one TSC had on the lot, Any other suggestions as to a good quality Tiller for Under $2000?

Thanks Again!!

I think a 5' should cover the tracks, no?

Outside to Outside of My rear Tires is Roughly 68" with the GP tires, so it looks like I need a 6' Tiller.

I think your tractor is the same size frame as mine and the 5' tiller covers for me. You might save a few bucks with the 5. It's not like it matters if there's an inch of a tire print left when you're tilling.. pretty sure mine covers 99%. I have the County Line from TSC.

edit, I just looked in the manual, there's a width difference with the different models, mine's the smallest of the series, CK 25. Never knew that. They call it 'minimum tread' whatever that refers to. Sorry for the confusion..

rosseels has a 6' kingkutter listed at 1650.00 i dunno how much shipping would be their located in michigan my 7' i just ordered to ship to alabama was 375.00 just to give you an idea i dunno how much it would be to ship where you are. Thats the best prices ive seen on king kutters so far.

I don't think you'll find a tiller that is much better than kk regardless of price

Mine pull basketball sized stones out of the ground like butter it's a violent event but mine is that thing tough

Let us know what you get.

I have a Bobcat CT335 HST and am looking to get a 6 ' tiller as well. I am looking at the phoenix T10 series that Ken sells. I am not sure on chain or gear drive, I wonder if it really even matters much though.
