What could possibly go wrong?
Serious answers.
is it overkill? sure. I don't need 17 acres per hour cutting speed, and I'll surely not be able to achieve that anyway with trees and narrow spots.
But - could I get a functional similar hours/quality zero turn for less? I'm not sure. He already said he'd to $2200. I don't know that I can get him better than that.
Hoses are generic, hydro motors are generic.
blades and spindles could be tough
belts are generic
it's a Cummins and a Dana 60.
They sold this as a snowblower too, with hydro drive hubs on the steer axle. Doubt I can find those parts but it would be plenty of snowthrower to do all needs here if I could.
I think the parts issues are probably people who want to go to a dealer and buy a thing without thought.
The issue is the weight on my lawn. I don't know distribution but I'm guessing by tires at 60/40 front biased? engine is pretty far back though. Duals on the front may solve, or the rear steers may be an issue as well.
Would certainly take some time to learn how to drive it.
other down side is that if it doesn't work it'll probably take a good while to sell.
