Tiller A Tiller at Harbor Freight???

[SkunkWerX]

Was just cruising around the www and stumbled on this.
A 3pt Tiller from Harbor Freight??
Seems kinda pricey too, at least, not any kind of noticeable "deal".

Does anyone know anything about these things?

Give it some time (let the inventory build up) and I'm guessing you'll see the price come down. You're right, it doesn't seem like much of deal right now.

This tiller looks identical to the one I saw in front of Northern Tool a week ago, priced "on-sale" at $ 1349. It looked very cheaply made compared to KingKutter brand at a couple hundred dollars less.

The same one is on ebay.

"Cast iron gear box" too much money but good to see another retailer of tillers.

I have observed that Harbor Freight often has multiple prices for the same thing: 1. store price, 2. catalog price, 3. flyer price, 4. internet price, 5 Insider's Club price, and so forth.

I have also observed that in most instances just about everything they sell eventually goes on sale, often at significant markdowns, if you are willing to wait and watch.

Pat, I find the same thing. Unless it is imperative I get something from HF, right away, it's always better to watch the "price cycle" they run it's course.

I was just suprised at the hefty price tag. I'll bet they get fewer takers, then their inventory will build, so they will be forced to run a "sale".

Until we get reports from users, I'd be leary of the quality and availability of parts. On the other hand, the more providers of equipment, the more competitive the prices, overall.
