Tiller Who made this tiller?

[Thistle Glen]

Thinking of buying a used tiller, but the owner doesn't know who Mfg. it. No model numbers or mfg. name on it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

It was sold by Card Brothers Equipment, Inc. - Home at one time according to the sticker that is on it. I would start there.

 

[Thistle Glen]

I contacted them....Their only comment was that it looked similar to a Bush Hog model.....

Wasn't me if that helps

Sure does look similar to the KK professional series......

Looks like an older Sicma to me. I have one that looks very close to that from what I can see in the pictures. A better shot of it from the rear, and the right end would also help.

Sicma would make sense if they were manufacturing for Massey Ferguson back in 2007....All of the current owners equipment is MF...

How do you like your tiller RG1?

I bought it used and had to replace a couple seals, but other than that, it is a nice tiller and does an excellent job. Seems to run nice and smoothly. Sicma tillers have a good rep. They make the tillers for a lot of OEM's so wouldn't be surprised if that's what you have there. Mine is a JD 647, but the data tag says Sicma on it.

Good to know.....Thanks for your help....

I don't have a clue who made the tiller, but I understand that some MF equipment was manufactured by Taylor-Pittsburgh (Taylor Way). That company is now owned by King Kutter.

I believe I have narrowed the model down to a MF 1361......But still don't know who actually manufactured it yet.....Still digging...

Update:

According to Agco the tiller was actually manufactured by Massey at the Hesston Kan. facility......

 

[Thistle Glen]

Above information from my local dealer has proven to be incorrect.

Directly From Agco:

1361 Tiller was purchased by MF from Taylor Pittsburg who was buying from an Italian manufacturer.

Serial number Format is:
1361 model
A – Taylor Pittsburg
R – 2006
6120 – s/n

 

[RG1]

And Sicma is an Italian manu. I still believe that's who made it since it looks so much like my Sicma.

 

[Thistle Glen]

I believe you are correct RG1......Do you have a source for replacement tines?....

 

[RG1]

You should be able to get them through a Deere dealer (where i got mine), or any other dealer that carries Sicma labeled, or Sicma built tillers labeled as an OEM attachment for that manu.

Also, contact ETA (sponsor here). They have sold Sicma tillers for a long time, and know a lot about them.
