I primarily use my 7341 for wildlife food plots and for a few years after purchasing it I wanted an appropriate sized tiller to help in that task. I wanted an 8' gear, not chain, driven tiller but the costs of such a large tiller are quite high. Basically the quotes I had been given through dealers, including my Zetor dealer, was from $6K to $8K.
A year and a half ago I found and bought a 8' tiller through Trucking Enterprises Imports of Milan, MO on eBay and remain very pleased with my purchase based on the performance of the implement.
It is a Chinese import but hey, I've got to stretch my $$$ and it is built like a tank! It allows me to till a swath wider than my 7341 and despite a wide range of soil conditions, the Zetor does not have an problems powering it. The tiller is built to Mr. Hauser's specifications which includes a massive slip clutch and tines that can be easily replaced (comes with two extra). I paid $1850 for my tiller and $400 to transport it from MO to South Texas, that was during the period of extremely high fuel prices. A quick look on eBay indicated that the same unit is now $2050. Here are some photos of my equipment.
Here is a small, short wmv shot from the cab of my tractor with the tiller in operation. You can see how smooth it is leaving the food plot.
