I have a 60" King Kutter forward rotation. It is on the cheaper lighter end of the spectrum but has served me well. It ran well behind my L3200 & still runs well behind my L4060. The 72" track on my L4060 makes it a but small. I do light part time work with it so it's seen more use than most home units. Ends of the tines are half the size they use to be due to wear.

I've thought about replacing it with a wider heavier unit for a while, but it works well enough I can't be bothered. Probably will end up waiting until tunes start breaking due to wear then replacing tines rather than the whole unit.

Another KK 60" owner here. Bought it in 2007 and it has been a great value. Our soil is a mix of glacial river delta sediments - sandy with occaisional cobbles - and consolidated glacial lake bottom clay - like you can make bricks out of. One observation: if you intend to till heavy clay soil, make sure it relatively dry to a 4 or 5" depth. Shorty after I got the tiller I attempted to work "pumpkinland" - our small, heavy clay plot, while it was still wet. The result was a "Flintstone wheel" with the rotor and tine assembly resembling a solid clay cylinder. Heavy as sin and took hours to clear. If only I had the pressure washer back then.
