New sigma tiller

[slamin81]

Good morning everyone, lol don’t scald me to bad. I have been looking at tillers for a little while, and boy are they pricey. I don’t have a tone of acreage to till, just some deer food plot and acouple small gardens.
the tiller is made in Italy. I’ll definitely keep you updated on the durability.

Hay, I'm NOT going to scold you. I bought a Made in Italy tiller as well, almost 20 years ago. Green, says 'Montana' on it, 5', a BRUTE ! Has done ACRES of veggie gardens in those 2 decades. I bolted the toplink to it, saves the time and BS of adjusting ,as it's ' set once and use'.
I used washers as shims on the lower link pins reduce 'left-right' movement, and oiled all the pivot,movey bits and bobs. Check that the PTO shaft is correct length. I keep the tiller's PTO shaft ON the tiller,well 1/2 of it,dang now I'm wondering where the tractor 1/2 is....
If it's a shear bolt design , get a few spares,keep some on tractor or tiller and 2 wrenches.

Hay, it's 1st day of SPRING today !

Looks nice to me.

At that price, you only have to get a few seasons out of it to break even, when compared to renting a unit; and more importantly to me, you get the added bonus of not having the BS involved with renting one....i.e. picking up/cleaning/dropping off.

I also like being able to work at my own pace without worry of going over "my time limit".
