Tiller Cheap grey market tillers?

If they are not for breaking up unplowed ground, then I have thoroughly abused my 60" KK tiller on about 4 acres. If you do till hard ground, start just knocking off the top and gradually get deeper with each pass.

Hey, I guess you can even grind stumps with it if you go slow enough! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Just watching the local newspaper classifieds, I've seen 48 inch Woods and Land Pride tillers selling used for $500. Maybe a wanted ad in the lawn and garden section of your local paper might be an answer.

Rental places often sell their equipment after a set period of time, they might also be a source.

My Woods tiller is just great and will take a grass covered area and lay a nice bed with a couple of passes.

Tiller seems to work great for you. I'm still shopping but my need for a new one is slowly leaning towards used with all the comments on this forum.

By the way that is some good looking soil you have there! Mine is all clay balls so far this year. No real rain to speak of either! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I have access to a 48" gray market tiller. Guide wheels are gone. It's been adapted for 3-pt. My vegetable rows are 3 across, 18 inches apart in a 60 in bed. The tiller is 48". So I'm going to remove three sections of tines, and turn the other tines to throw dirt in between the rows. Maybe remove the cowling so I can see what's going on. And use it at a rotary cultivator for my veggie rows. I agree that they aren't for breaking ground. But I like the thin tines for cultivating, and for seed bed prep.
