So, this thing is like a ghost on the internet. There's VERY few for sale near my location. I love the idea of this platform, but I'm definitely looking for some more feedback information.
Things to know:
Things to know:
- I'll be maintaining on avg. 4 properties averaging no less than 3 acres; one of which has many slopes/contours and embankments (this one more than the others).
- I can't necessarily justify spending $10k plus on a mower given where I am financially (I've found a few of these units with less than 10hours with full warranty for <$8k).
- I'll take vanguard over just about anything (which it has [26hp model])
- I've heard nothing but good things about the duramax deck
- This one (I believe) does NOT run the PTO gearbox like the rest of the front mounts
- How much of a detriment is that?
- These can run the leaf management system g.hopper sells even w/out it.
- I LOVE that this has a full floating deck and contours very well with slopes, etc.
- Has anyone on here had personal run-time on this?
- Given my properties above is there any MAJOR CON in time or operation with using a front vs. midmount? 60 VS. 52?
- Is there anything NOT on these that are on the other frontmounts that is potentially make/break?
