I am a homewowner looking for a WAM mower to mow 14acres. I am wondering about peoples opinions on used WAM's. I am looking at Toro's, Jacobsen's and JD 1600. Also does anyone no where to find used JD 1600's?
My land I mow is bumpy so I am hoping the long wheel base of the WAM would be better than the SCAG we currently use. The SCAG is quick and mows well but you beat yourself silly.

Thanks,
Brett

Most WAM's have only slightly bigger tires than a ZTR.

If things are real rough, you'd likely be better off with a large tired tractor with a good finish mower or belly mount mower.

You could use a tractor around an estate like your size for other things, where a WAM is a purpose built machine.

Look for a 72" Ferris with the full independent suspension.

For a finder's fee, I can tell you where one is, with the 31 hp Cat diesel with about 500 hours on it for $8,500. :)
