I scored a Land Pride RTA 1050 tiller on a local 50 mile yard sale(http://www.alabama.travel/events/mountain_trails-_50_mile_yard_sale_-_web_submissio) yesterday, got it for $300 :) My heart was racing when he priced it, one of the best bargains I've found as of yet. This past spring on the Highway 11 yard sale(http://www.us11antiquealley.com/) I got a 4' tuffline disc harrow, 4' box blade, and a J-Bar 14" single bottom plow, all for $250. You know your gonna get a pretty good deal when the seller has a few empty beer cans beside his chair :D I'm really hoping my B7200 can handle the 50" tiller, it's rated 17-25hp, but my tractor only has 14hp at the PTO. Anyone else using a tiller with a lower rated PTO?

76 Bronco, I use a 48" KK on my 16 hp/13 pto hp B7100, with no issues. Unless you use it in really difficult soil, I doubt that you will have any problems. That extra 2" shouldn't hurt you. Great score!

I dream about sales like that. Ever since I got my BX, I slow down at all the yard sales in our rual area. It's always baby stuff and nothing good....

There is one thing I look for at garage, yard and estate sales that my lovely Wifey drags me to is tools especially Craftsman, Snap-on and other good quality forever warreny tools.

Sounds like you may have found yourself a great find :D

Let me think about it Skeets........................... Nope! I think I'll keep it lol. I already have a co-worker who's wanting it, he was on the same strech of yard sale as me, and was also in the market for a tiller. But he stopped for some breakfast and missed out :p

Will do skeets, but don't hold your breath. Because I'm 50 years old and have never in my life seen a snow blower this far south.:D But ya never know what you might find at those yard sale's ;)

Darn, I was on the yard sale drive and the best thing I got was some cupcakes from 2 young girls. Choclate on choclate. Wanted to go back the next day but wife said no.
