Nordland Tillers any good?

[joebrotz]

Hello all,
I’m new to the forum. I have a Kubota B2620 that I’m looking to add a 3 point tiller to. A local implement dealer has an EXTREMELY GOOD price on a new Nordland 42” 3 point tiller. Here’s the description:

Nordland UL-42-CH 3 Point Mount Tiller, 2021, 42" tilling width, charcoal gray in color, forward rotation, 540 PTO with slip clutch, gear driven oil bath gear box, category 1 three point hitch, 6 blade rotor flange, total 30 tines, for 20 - 30 HP tractor, adjustable lower hitch brackets, adjustable side depth skids, quick hitch compatible, weight 368 lbs, tilling depth 5.4".​

It checks all the boxes for me. However, the price is almost too good. Is this just junk that I won’t want to deal with? I do see that they make tillers up to 120” width and other types of implements, so they don’t seem like they’re a fly by night outfit. Does anyone out there have experience with this brand? If feedback is good, I’d probably get it…
Thanks,
Joe.

Did some more research and found that they are made by an Indian company named Shaktiman. Don’t know anything about them.
Also, I did talk with the dealer. They said they bought up the stock of another implement dealer that went out of business. Hence the very low price.
Still it makes me nervous. Probably gone skip this one.
