side discharge or rear only thing i say with any steel deck keep it clear and keep it painted to stop it rusting
If it's the machine you spoke about before with 800 odd hours? Buy yourself a box of o rings as they can fail without warning on the hydro pipe fittings (just changed one on one of my mowers at 1100 hours). Find the hydro oil level indicator and keep within range. The hydro system should be reliable but just keep the oil fairly new and check for leaks as if they go wrong (they don't tend to) they are a big expense to put right!!
Happy mowing
Thanks fells, we picked it up on Sat am, from Upson Mowers, what a great outfit, been going for 40 years, would highly recommend them, if your after a serious pieces of kit, all their 2nd hand kit is fully re furbed. Bob guv at nearly 70 his son a Director and another co director, 10 engineers. Fantastic customer service.
Well pleased with it, only done 2 jobs, but cut 2/3 of an acre in 20 minutes on the 2nd job. Maybe need another dedicated trailer now, just for the Kubuta.
Ill post a picture up here soon.
Very happy indeed, i just need to perfect my pricing structure for larger area, certainly not using this at our normal hourly rate.
I have an idea of £80 for the first acre, then £50-£60 pro rata for every acre onwards at possibly 1/3 of an acre at £20 each. What do you think, is this OTT, or under priced. ie would you have 1.5 acres cut for £90.00
Test the market with some different prices and it will soon become obvious where you should be at.
