New Caroni tiller (new to me anyway)

[littleduck]

Hi all,

Just picked up a Caroni FL1200 tiller at the weekend to do some cultivating on my 2 acre plot with my B2400. Some of the tines are worn and was hoping to purchase some replacement tines for it. thoug he I’d get a full set and keep some of the older ones as spares if they are any good. Problem is I can find loads of info on American websites but very little here in the UK. What’s the chances of American Agri suppliers posting to the UK?

This on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Caroni-Tiller-Tines-Code-FL17400-FL17500-Full-Set-For-a-FL1200-FL1300-Series-/371407275685

No idea what the postage would be

I’d managed to find the manual just prior to purchasing it and found the item codes which allowed me to find agrisupply website which sell each time for $3.99.

The eBay item is bang on what I need at £163ish but got to find out about shipping to Uk from US and I am totally unsure about import tax/charges on items coming into the UK.

Fingers crossed

ASC will offshore ship but I believe you have to call them. Have a friend with one that does garden tilling for hire. That Italian tiller is a solid unit.

Hello,

For the time being you wouldn t have to pay import taxes, maybe VAT when you buy in the EC, plus lower freight costs

A quick search brought up two sellers of caroni tillers in france
