Tiller Tiller Prices

theboman · Nov 29, 2001

Been shopping around for a tiller for my 'Bota B7500 HST and I'm having sticker STROKE (way beyond shock). I was guessing $800-$1,000 (USA) for a 48-50" rotary tiller, but seems like $1300-$1400 is what they are selling for in these parts (Befco and Bush Hog brands). OUCH.
Any used ones around me in Eastern Ky? Heck I travel a lot so VA, TN, NC, OH, WV, IN are close enough for me to pick up.

Bo, even my 40" Bush Hog tiller cost $1,300 in '95./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif But of course, it's seen a lot of heavy duty use and still going strong with no repairs.

Bo,

Try Tractor Supply Company, they carry WAC & King Kutter tillers. I was lucky enough to find a used WAC that someone bent the tines on and returned it for a new one. I paid $350.00 for a 54" and put a coulple hundred in it. The guy at my local TSC said they sell used implements all the time. Good Luck!

theboman,

You are in the ballpark for a new tiller. For new, look at TSC/Quality Farm or the like for a less expensive tiller. Any of the others will be more expensive and maybe have a few more features.

The other possibility is to look for used at the dealers or go to some auctions.

Good luck.

boman,
I was at my local (Frankfort, KY) Quality Farm store last week and they had a King Kutter tiller, If I remeber correctly it was $995. Do not know any specifics, it was on clearance along with a couple of other attachments. Maybe slightly used or slightly damaged. Guessing 5'.
Might check around TS, or let me know and I can see if they still have that one. Might be there this weekend.

I've got a 6' King Kutter that has been fantastic. Paid $1200 for it 3 years ago, (in the spring, so no mark down). This is a great time to buy - end of the season, time to clear out the old stock.

Take a look a Northern Hydraulics catalog for tiller in $850 range. there is also a Carico tiller sold in farms stores in the south for similar amount.

I was just quoted $1,600 for a small (42") LandPride tiller. The only real justification I can see with paying that much is you hope there will be parts available later. It's the lack of parts support that is stopping me ordering the $850 tiller from Northern Tool ...

Does anyone have experience with the Caroni brand tillers. They are sold by Agri-supply and you can buy a 48" tiller for ~840 plus shipping or a 56" for `880.
I also have a B7500HST and am looking for a tiller.
Unfortunately our local Central Tractor sold out of them during their going out of business sales before I could get there
