Tiller on my mind

[MESSMAKER]

Just did my taxes. All my equipment has depreciated out. I am thinking about buying a tiller for this year. It seems like about $1700 is the going rate for a 60" tiller. I could live with a 48" if the price was right. What is the best deal out there right now?

$1700 is pretty much the going price for a new 60" tiller. I almost purchased a new one, but ended up putting a wanted ad on Craigslist for one. I got a used King Kutter II, 60" for $950. It was in excellent shape. Just picked it up this past Sunday.

My local craigslist is full of WTB listings for tillers. I think I will struggle to find a used one. Love to have one, but everyone must be hanging on to them around here.

Sweettracors is an advertiser on this site and will probably be along with some quotes for you. He's also in KY so that is a bonus for you.

We have the New 5 ft Hawkline by Behlen for $1595 and the 5 ft Tarter for $1695. Both are gear drive and 6 tines per rotor and slip clutch pto. There was a 6 ft Tiller that had to be 15 + years old that sold at a consignment sale here in Ky for $1700. I think the buyer just was not aware of the new prices. Ken Sweet

I've watched sales and ads for a couple years hoping to find a used tiller. It is amazing how many people are selling (or trying to sell) well used tillers for new tiller prices.

About a year ago, I saw a older John Deere 6 ft that had been in a bad fire bring $1200. What are people thinking? Ken Sweet

It must have been a JD 660 made in Germany. I have one and it is like tilling with a Mercedes Benz.

Purchase a tiller that will cover both tire tracks, you will be much happier.:thumbsup:
