Rototilling & Sandy Lake

JC, Glad to hear of the great response by Sandy Lake. I've had similar experiences with them, but I didn't know if I was getting "preferential treatment" or not... They also seem to have a great reputation with the "big AC" fans on Darin Stratton's "Unofficial Allis" discussion board.... These tillers do a fine job, too, don't they? I spread two pickup loads of composted cow manure on my garden Saturday and tilled it in. This was the second time I'd tilled it, but I like to till 3 times before planting if I can, with 7-10 days between tillings. This lets the weed seeds sprout, then till them under and kill them. My little Troybilt Pony just gets used for cultivating since I got this one for the tractor.... One of these days I'd like to have a second tractor ready to go at the same time, though, so that I don't need to take off the tiller to put on the mower deck, and vice versa.... All I need is time to work on the Big Ten! Kent

Kent, I mow with my Sovereign and till with the B-1. It's nice to be lazy and select the tractor desired for the job without having to switch implements. Roy

Finally got my $25.00 rototiller together after over $450.00 in parts & repairs. FAXed the local Simplicity dealer on Monday the 7th about the main rototiller belt (cost, in stock, etc) e-mailed S.L.I. on Tuesday the same request. S.L.I. got back to me on Thursday. I told S.L.I. to send belt on Friday. Got belt on Saturday and after making some adjustments rototilled garden with my tiller. I am still waiting for the local dealer to respond!!! All they are interested in is selling new!

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
