Domestic diesel shaft drive Ride on's

[rowan lee]

Just wondering about non commercial diesel shaft drive ride on's other then Kubota's.

Im thinking along the lines of a GR1600-II size wise. What other options are out there??

i cant recommend another machine, but i do have and use a gr1600 II on a daily basis and its a brilliant machine. i find it easy to use in all weather conditions and economical on fuel.

i didnt find meny machines in the same waight and size range as it, izeki do a machine a little bigger but i like the kubota.

what about torro or wheel horse if buying second hand

very reliable koler engines

never heard of wheel horse, must check that out, cheers.

wheel horse where the domestic version of toro they no longer exist but there sinngle cylinder geared mowers are solid

we have had 5 of them

the only thing they suffer from in my experience is rotten decks and lack of maitanence to the bearing but i should think this is a problem with most mowers as our 6 ft kubota was the same

we even had a v2 perol in one of them although this was so powerful it shook the distributor apart
