Tiller King Kutter tiller versions?

[ruffdog]

If you are looking at a 5ft tiller by KK, you have 2 choices, the Pro model and the standard model. The Pro has the smooth top so dirt can't collect up there and that is the model in your #1 pictures. The standard 5ft model can collect dirt on top but still has the cast iron case like the Pro model. Being that the construction design is different on either, it is up to you which you like. My Std model will collect a small amount of dirt on top but it is SMOOTH on the bottom side so I can scrape it clean after tilling. It is HD enough for me and I have never had a problem with it.

KK now has a 4.5 foot XB extra........

Ok, may bad. Model 2 that I took pictures of is an XB and I guess the gearbox connection is different from the regular tiller models. All I was really trying to show with the pictures were the different construction with the bars and the welds (that XB was all they had in stock with that construction). So sort of ignore my pictures and look at the links.

It sounds like you guys are saying you have this model: King Kutter 5 Foot Gear Driven Tiller TG-6-Y and it's a tank, but the one in the other link may be a cheapened version?

Yup.... that IS mine TG-60-YK
I bought it about 12 years ago, and seem to remember paying about $1,300 including shipping (1,000 mi., but as I recall, it was actually dropped shipped from KK), bought from Blain's Farm & Fleet, in Janesville ,WI.
