looking to buy a 3 pt tiller

[tbergman]

You have the advantage of not needing it right now so just be patient and something will turn up. I use apps like "Search Tempest" to search all of CL when I'm on the hunt for something. Sometimes I find it a few hours away, but if the price is right my time is worth it.

Mine is also a KK and it has held up well. I just use it for my personal garden and to help out a couple of neighbors so it really doesn't get much wear.

Never heard of search tempest, but just tried it and it looks great! found a JD tiller I may go look at, not far away. $600 for a 6' tiller, needing a little work. Would save a grand if it is as he says...
Thank you.

I purchased a Dirt Dog from GWT Dirt Dog Rotary Tiller - Good Works Tractors

Seems to be very well built. I got the 6’ model. It’s a beast and GWT ships all over.

I'm not sure if KK manufacturers their own or not, but there are some manufacturers you might not normally hear about since they make implements for others. Mine is a Taylor Pittsburgh that is painted blue and has the LS logo.

I've had a 5' KK behind a 30 HP B Kubota for 17 years now. It's done a LOT of tilling and I couldn't be happier with it. Zero problems. Hard to believe how well it works.

I run a 4 foot Tar River tiller behind my JD X585 (18 HP PTO I think) and it works well. It is a bit lighter than others of this size though.
The brand seems well built.

I ordered the Rural King by KK 60” tiller for my Kubota L3901.
I ordered it 10-8-21 free shipping to store, it’s expected deliver date is by 1-28-22. The current price is $350 more than my ordered price (my RK Harvest card has not been charged yet). If you’re buying new, you may want to go ahead and order it in hopes of it arriving by spring.

I don't have a lot of experience with tillers but I went with a 66" Sicma / Phoenix Tiller
It has the reverse rotation and did a superb job tilling a new 1/2 acre lawn for me. Seems to be built like a tank.

Buy big enough to cover and really heavy duty, you won't regret it and just don't buy avocado toast for the next year if you strain the budget

The 30hp may require you to go a bit slower, but it'll handle it.

I found this monster at auction for $1k and I'm just amazed at how quickly my tractor (Branson 3520h - "29hp PTO" claimed) tears up untouched rocky ground, despite my hp likely being on the lower end of the recommended range (or even below it - the tiller is over 80" across and had 9 sets of tines).

I have the KK 5' tiller and run it behind my 20hp Kubota. Tractor is a little small for it, but it works fine. I originally bought it when I had sand for a yard. I now have rocks, gravel, and clay. It still works on that but really gives my tractor a workout. I use 1st gear and 4wd to till the hard stuff.

I have a 6' King Kutter tiller I run on my 35HP tractor
