Tiller Wich tiller "first choice sicma 74" or "ccm sr180"

mark2610d · May 1, 2009

I'm thinking about which of these two tiller would be the best to go with. The ccm looks to be very heavy duty buy the price is much higher than the sicma first choice. What are the biggest differences between the two tillers?

What do you folks think? Anyone have any experience with the first choice or ccm tillers?

Noticed your old post....I'm looking at the sicma 74...the ccm model wasn't available in orange.

I think I am correct in saying the CCM tillers are made in Turkey and the Sicma tillers are made in Italy. We sell the 74 inch Sicma which is branded First Choice or Phoenix. Ken Sweet

Not sure which Sigma you looking at but make sure you are comparing apples to apples. The CCM SR 185 is a heavy duty 100 HP gear box rated tiller. Sigma makes numerous different HP rated models.

I do own the SR 185 and it is indeed a very heavy duty machine. Has given me no problems in the 2 seasons I have owned it.
