Accidents can happen but his seemed like it should'nt have (obviously physics knows better then me though)īasically that 4 grand is buying an over sized lawn mower that wont do a good job mowing. Dad managed to test the ROPS (they work) once. I find it a bit top heavy as well, just never feels right. Unless you want a grader it is a scalping machine. The only other thing I know is that the belly mower sucks big time. 4000 hrs seems like a bit much to pay top dollar for. A broken PTO shaft was 600 bucks plus labor IIRC. The trouble I see is that they were only made for a few years so parts are not plentiful. Is that a 4 wheel drive version? My Dad has a 4x4 5 years ago he paid under 10 grand delivered 400 kms for a low hour 4x4 with loader, tiller, belly mower, a bush hog,chains, and a bunch of other stuff.
