Most gardeners and farmers believe it is essential to till your soil, to help aerate your soil and break up the lumps, remove weeds and turn over rocks. Certainly, if you are starting from scratch with a meadow that needs replanting, or an overgrown garden you want to turn into an organic vegetable plot, tilling your soil is a must. Ideally, you need to till your soil in the spring, ensuring that it is neither too dry nor too wet. If you have a significant amount of soil to till, you are going to give yourself a hernia doing it by hand! Similarly, when trying to turn wasteland into a productive plot, you will need something heavy duty, for example, a gear-driven rotary tiller, such as the King Kutter Tiller to handle that tough of a job.
Benefits of using a King Kutter Tiller
Firstly, decide the size of tiller you need. The King Kutter tiller comes in 4 foot 5 foot and 6 foot widths with 6 tines per flange and 9 flanges. You want to be able to drive it up and down your plot in straight lines if possible. This is a monster of a machine that makes light work of tangled undergrowth, root filled soil and buried rocks, without any damage to the tines, it is a tough machine. The 4 foot tiller is offset to eliminate tractor tire marks, so is good for the smaller plot and vegetable garden. The great thing about tilling your soil, and ripping up those evil weeds and roots, is that, no dangerous and lethal chemicals have to be used to destroy them. This is particularly important if you want to develop your plot for organic gardening.
Where to buy King Kutter Tillers and at what price
You can find the King Kutter tiller for sale on Amazon and direct from the larger tool merchants and farm machinery supply outlets. They are also available on E bay, which also has, a lot of King Kutter tiller parts for sale. Brand new, the 4 foot version is going to cost you around $1,600 rising to over $2,000 for the 6 foot version. A King Kutter tiller needs a tractor to pull it, if you already have one, you may need to shorten the PTO shaft to fit your tractor, a simple job. If you do not own a tractor, you can hire one, with or without driver, or even borrow one from a neighboring farmer. If you are part of a cooperative, then investing in a tractor and a King Kutter tiller will make all your lives easier. King Kutter tiller prices are lower for second-hand machines, but these weed hungry monsters are so popular, your best option is a smaller one that someone has replaced with a larger model.
Whichever King Kutter tiller you end up buying, your soil, and your back, will thank you for it. You will end up with finely tilled soil that will warm faster and speed up the germination of seed. You can even make a rockery out of the rocks it digs up!
