Has anyone purchased one of these? If so are they any good?

2014_01050010.jpgGot this from Gumtree, deceased estate, wanted $90, I got it for $50, goes nice and no engine knocks, needs an old fitter n turner like me to replace some spring pins, rivets on hinged items, linkages seem ok and the air filter is like a piece of wet rotten sponge cake, springy thing around the choke etc, saves me using my parklander and all the attachments too much, I just love clean cut edges, make a ferral look good even if it has weeds. FOR $50 its a goer!!!....here's a pic of the old girl. Made in USA B&S, so I believe it's2014_01050011.jpg2014_01050011.jpg2014_01050009.jpg the real deal, might have to add some additive to fuel as I reckon it anit good on unleaded.
nice little pick up for $50.
speaking of Parklander, I just picked up this guy on ebay. Have a couple of grease nipples to replace and will do a full service on it but she starts first time. Haven't had a look under the deck yet, no doubt I'll have to replace/refresh the blades, and now I wish I had a bought a bigger trailer. I'm now pondering ramps to get this onto the back of the ute.

Similar size to my Deutscher slasher. I recently picked up some good ramps at half price from a Supercheap Auto sale @$120 and they work well. Rated at about 480kgs per ramp which is more than enough. Repco often have similar.
shame i missed the sales. I noticed some 2.3m ramps on ebay, gives an angle of about 18-20degrees onto the ute. The manual for the Parklander says no more than 15 degrees mowing. I'm guessing 18-20 should be alright. The previous guy used a ute but did say it was scary. hmm
Yeah the ones I bought are curved which improves the angle immensely for loading.
yeah that's it mate. Down my way there are a lot of Fire Prevention Notices issued to vacant land owners as well as a few semi rural guys that just let their paddocks go. I'm hoping with this and the ZTR I can pick up a few of these jobs. Plus I figure it might be handy for the feral houses that I'm sure I'll encounter
Interesting to see what it goes for

You'd want to be very careful reversing with that box frame tacked on the front - straight line only :-)

Unbraked so only 750kg payload
a ride on, push mower, brushy, chainy,and every other little item without green waste would come close to the 750
....Nothing like a good whipper....
