Tiller Tiller pricing/sizing and alternatives

[Titanic]

Bird is correct they can get all three sizes. The tillers are manufactured in Gallipolis,Ohio
You can e-mail King Kutter from their web page and they will send you information.

Kevin,

I happen to live in Canada and purchased a Sovema tiller. You can, however, contact <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.sovema.com/default.cfm?t=site&l1=5&l2=1>Sovema USA </A> and I'm sure they could help you out.

I bought a Caroni for my JD 4100 and it works great, came with clutch as well and ran about $860 from Agri supply, think it was 50"

Gary,

Did you have the Caroni shipped or did you pick it up. If you had it shipped how did you make the transfer from truck to the ground.

Might try Sweet Farm Equip. Several tillers, good pricing. Some nearly wholesale. Good quality. Good to deal with... www.sweettractors.com

Thanks everybody for the feedback. I've since done some more looking around. I drove an hour to a different Tractor Supply, and they had a King Kutter brochure showing the 48", but they couldn't find a price on it. I then went out to their web site and looked in the "Blue Book", and it only lists the 60 & 72 inch ones. So maybe some stores can special order them, others can't or won't? That might also explain the inflated price over the larger ones (special order, no quantity buying?). In any event, the owner's manual says 375lbs. for a tiller. Even if this is a conservative number, I think the 600lbs of the KK make it a poor candidate.

I looked into the Sovema, and spec-wise it looked pretty good. Unfortunately, they are a bit pricy, and harder to find a dealer to ship one reasonably. The Land Pride looks really good, but very pricy.

I found a dealer that can ship me a Caroni 48", model FL1200ASC, including shipping and tax, for $970.00. The specs say it weighs 408lbs and requires 15-40HP. At this point, this looks like a winner. Does anybody have any experience with this or other Caroni tillers, or other equipment they make?

Sweet farm Equip. in Ky. handles several brands and that is one of them. Good pricing, shipping and no sales tax. Good people to deal with, that's where I got my 72" tiller. Check their website.
