Thumb Tillers at TSC

[mroe21877]

Maybe somebody in the store would have known. Did you ask them?

Well the TSC i was in isnt the one i would ultimately purchase from. Last time i asked a question in there I was not impressed. Besides I was on lunch and just taking a quick look.

i would prefer not to even buy there but shipping for a tiller from an online source is too much. I was looking at everythingattachments Sicma 48" as well but Id have to either pick up at a terminal or pay for residential shipping.

There shouldn't any problem with TSC ordering one in for you. I'm not sure where your located, when I checked back in February on one. They had 1 unit it the PDC that serves my TSC. When I ordered mine (Monday), there was 5 units at the PDC. So that tells me they are starting to gear up for Spring on outdoor equipment. Now as to weather they will stock the sub-compact equipment like tillers at all the stores. I don't know, best guess, demand at that store will dictate what they stock. So if you want 1, have them order 1 in or if you want to see 1 first, tell them that your very interested in purchasing one and see if they will order 1 in for stock. They can also transfer products between stores I believe.

sorry to revive this thread but i have an update and new question. I called 5 TSC's today about the XB. Only one seemed to have any clue and that one was a bit far. To get an answer from the rest I had to lookup their SKU number and explain what i was looking for. Even then i didnt get an exactly straight answer as to when i could expect it to show up.

So i started thinking about the regular KK II (non xb model). i took a quick measure and it seems like it would be a tight fit on a BX. The hieight seems ok - should be able to lift fine but the pin spacing seems tight.

Two questions: does anyone have a KK II on a BX and if so how does it fit?
And are there shorter replacement pins to allow the lift arms of a BX to work a KK II?

I was going to go through everythingattachments, and still may if need be, but their SICMAs are still on a boat and im looking at 6 weeks for those. Too late.

I havent been able to find a tiller dealer near me other than TSC unfortunately.

I got my tg-48-xb tiller from TSC last week and it's a nice unit, got it setup, cutting the pto shaft was alittle bit of a pain, what I did was removed the safety shield & the back panel on the rear supports that goes to the top link. Makes it a lot easier to see what your doing. I set the slip clutch bolts at 1 1/4 turns and took it to the garden, man does that thing chew dirt. It's not off set & it's gear drive. Nice paint job, except where it's scuffed from the shipping crate, got a free can of Bota orange spay paint. .

I received the TSC flyer today and it looks like the 60" tillers are back to $1499 which is $100 off.

TSC is showing 0% interest for 12 months again on qualifying purchases with the TSC credit card on purchases over $300.

A new store opened in Siler City, NC a few months ago and it has been great shopping there. I printed out agri supply's price on their 35 gallon horizontal white leg tank and TSC price matched it. It was about a $34 difference.

You guys are lucky your TSC stocks these attachments. I visited my local store inquiring about 3pt attachments and the employee looked at me like I had three heads. After explaining what they were, all he did was open a catalogue to the PTO parts and then I helped him find the correct page and he says, that's all we can order, no tiller, no plow, no box blade, just a cultivator, a harrow and a back blade. It was unbelievable how poor the service was there and it's the second time I have left empty handed.

And to think my first exposure to TSC near/in Jackson, TX was love at first sight. Talk about a difference.

I know that feeling ... up here the tractor supply is more a "keep housewives happy with k-mart prices on campy rural themed junk"

I got my KK XB 48 at a local farm store here in Northern Mich. for $ 1099.00.
Took it home, hooked it up, no problem, looked outside, ( 3 inches of snow in about 2 hours ). My fault, but it looks good!

I just bought a KK 48" TG-48-YK tiller for my BX23. Handles it great. Had to shorten the drive shaft 2". I do have the "PAT'S easy change installed. I don't really care for the offset feature of the YK model, but I can live with it. The YK is a little heavier that the XB model. Heavy is good for box blades and tillers. I have found that tilling in reverse with the rear gate wide open (going very slow) does a better job in sod and very hard clay.

The XB weighs 524 lbs according to the spec's. I had to take 4 inches off of each end of the PTO shaft to make it fit the BX. That was one of those "here we go hold my beer moments", but it turned out well. Hope to try it out this weekend.
