"I purchased this King Kutter II tiller for my tractor this past May, 2007, and have used it for my own garden, as well as to help many friends with their gardens.
This tiller is incredible. I've broken up some virgin sod that was packed full of rocks. I thought I might have damaged my tiller when tiling up that ground, as it was making all kinds of racket, and bouncing wildly while hitting all the rocks. Nope.....the tines still look like new. Only the cover metal has a few dents in it. My confidence in this tiller steadily grew from there.
Yesterday I plowed up 2 acres of sod in my front yard, then took the King Kutter II tiller to it. I've never received so many compliments from complete strangers. Every person who stopped to ask about my equipment was very impressed with this tiller and the fine finish it leaves. (Adjust the rear gate accordingly)
I would have gladly given the KKII tiller 5 stars, but for the lousy paint it comes with. I don't know what that stuff is on the metal, but it sure isn't paint. Just looking at it will cause that yellow cake to flake off. I plan on stripping it clean.....which should be a very easy job......and then put some real paint on it.
This tiller comes to you dry. MAKE SURE you read and understand the directions before using it. You'll need to fill the gearbox, as well as add the proper amount of lubrication to the side drive housing before using it.
Apparently even the bearings are shipped dry, so make you sure you put the grease gun to the outer bearing, as well.
Depending on your tractor, you may have to shorten the PTO shaft. Follow the directions supplied when doing this. (It's not as difficult to do as the instructions make it out to be.)
If you order this tiller, make sure you also get the proper lubricants on order. The outer bearing requires TYPE II grease. The Gearbox requires GL5-85W 140 gear oil, or TRIPLE ZERO grease. EP (Extreme Pressure) The side Drive housing also uses GL5-85W 140 EP oil. You'll need about three quarts total. You won't need all three quarts (Do not overfill).......but you'll need more than 2 quarts.
With more than 4 acres tilled to this point, under some of the hardest conditions imaginable, my tiller still looks and performs like new.......other than for that yellow stuff that's supposed to be paint.
Not recommended for tractors under 30 horsepower. (It's a power hog!) Perfect match for the Kubota B7800, New Holland TC33, and similar compact tractors.
Purchase with complete confidence!"
