Rotary Tillers

[phyxer]

The Phoenix Tillers by Sigma (made in Italy) have been around for a long time, and used as OEM tillers for many of the major players in the business. Bush Hog, Coyote, Montana just to name a few. Sorry, I do not have a complete list to share. We do stock both the T-5 series, and the T-10 series here at Everything Attachments.

As for parts, We have excellent replacement parts availability for the Sigma products that we stock wearable items here, and the main parts warehouse is in the Eastern part of NC where we can have the entire line of Sigma tiller parts drop shipped.

The last thing you have to worry about when buying a Sigma brand tiller is parts! We have sold a lot of them over the years, and they are ALMOST indestructable! You can learn a lot about them, and see a product demo here.

You have just got to love a dealer that takes the time to come on these forums and educate us AND stand behind the products he sells. I don't know anything about this brand but I can say that based on the videos I've seen and the lack of complaints I would certainly give "Everything Attachments" and the "Phoenix" a try IF I didn't already know about my LandPride (Fantastic REVERSE Rotary Tiller by the way). Just my thoughts; I'm sure others will differ

I have a John Deere 450 and had a woods GT60 and both are great tillers. I don't know who made the JD, but the Woods was a Sicma (Italian) and it was well built and very easy to find parts for.

. : SICMA S.p.A. - Industrial Company for Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing : .

Used tillers are hard to come by around here also so I put the word out to a few of the local tractor dealers that I was looking. About two weeks later got a call from a JD dealer on the JD450. It spent about 4 hours at the dealer so it was easy money for him, he gave me a great price as he didn't have to do hardly anything. Don't know how the dealers are where you are but it's worth a shot!

Good luck on your hunt.

Jerry,
I am looking at the JD 673 tiller and think it lists for about $3400 on the Deere site. I looked at the tillers you mentioned and they appear to be OK but what about parts and warranty?

I have the JD 673 and love it. The only flaw I see that it has is a manual adjustment on the chain tensioner. I also have a frontier 1157 that is adjustable for offset. That is also a very strong tiller and has an automatic chan tensioner.

I really do not know much about tillers. I have a Frontier RT1260. It is pretty heavy dutyy, medium actually I think, but I do not know how the duty ratings are set. It makes short work of tilling and the Imatch compatability is worth its weight in gold IMO. Probably should have bought teh King Cutter from farm and Fleet but this one sure is nice. The King Cutter was a lot cheaper. I paid $2K. Could have bought a lot of produce for $2K.

Most of the Frontier models are Machio tillers repainted.

Most of the Frontier models are Machio tillers repainted.

Hmm... good info. The Sitrex looks almost bolt-to-bolt the same to the Machio (Frontier). Both likely to outlast the 1st generation owner.

Who makes the new model JD tillers?

I have an older model JD 660. It's made in Germany and it's right around 650lbs (with pto shaft).

I seem to recall (could be wrong) that the JD branded tillers are more heavy duty than the Frontier models.
