Tiller info on tillers needed

SmokyMtnMan · Apr 8, 2002

I saw a post in here about 4-5 months ago regarding brands of roto-tillers that were sold under other names. Such as TSC tillers made by King Kutter, etc....seems there was a post regarding a tiller that was sold by Northern Hydraulics
Anyone know who makes the roto-tiller that Northern Hydraulics offers in catalog? seems some of their other attachments are Howse. Was just curious since it seems to be good price and tiller depth is more than KK.
Thanks

Smokey.

I would like to know the same thing. Better yet, what kind of experience do people have the the Northern tillers?

Thanks,
Buck

Check out "howseimplement.com". They seem to make many of Northern's 3PH items. Interestingly, they also sell for cheaper than Howse sells directly...

ok, now I am back to the TSC KingKutter I guess. Seems that NH only carries a 54" tiller and according to their website, that tiller is now $1024 compared to the 2000 Master Catalog i had here showing $824. I guess with a Kubota 4610 with 72" whellbase, I need 72" so that one won't work. TSC wants $1300 for their 72" one.

Smoke man....
I just purchased a King Kutter II TG60 tonight. I just got it off the trailer when the rain decided to come. It is built like a #$%^ brick house! It is supposed to rain for the next 2 days, so that will give me ample enough time to uncrate it, put the gear lube in the gear boxes and grease all the fittings. I gotta check the PTO length, also. I'll let you know how it works, maybe this weekend. It come with a slip clutch and is totally gear driven, not chain driven. I like that.

SmokyMtnMan,
I have KK 72" on my TC40D, works perfect. My only complaint is that it does not have a jack stand and it has a tendency to roll forward ( toward the tractor) when you unhook it. I blocked mine up with some wood then set it down and unhook it.

I don't know if you're interested, but I've been very pleased with my Muratori tiller--made in Italy.

Tony,

What did you pay? Where did you get the tiller?

tonyw · Apr 10, 2002

Will I be red-faced if I give the price and find out I overpaid!?! I got if for around $1000-$1100 from Leinbach Equipment in Winston-Salem, NC. I don't know if there are other Leinbach's around, but I have seen listings of other dealers who sell Muratori.

I just tilled up 10 acres with a new King Kutter II 60" that I just bought last month. It worked great. It is gear driven vice chain so it is very, VERY durable! I think it weighs around #700!! I pull it with a Cub Cadet 7272(27hp) and it does just fine.
