I'm looking at buying a used 6' King Kutter, and I have a few questions.
1) I'm not to impressed with the latest products labeled King Kutter and sold by my local Tractor Supply Company. However, I've rented and used older products made under that name that seemed to be very stout and well built. I am wondering. Up to what year would you consider them having built a quality product?
2) Is there any way to tell the year of manufacture from a serial number? If so, where is that number usually found?
3) For a visual inspection, what am I looking for that lets me know the gear box is of good quality?
4) Last, any one particular thing that you'd home in on during your inspection that is a walk-away or good-to-go item/issue for you?
I've included some small pictures.
Thanks to any and all who might reply to this post. The wealth of knowledge is incredible on this forum.
Thanks again
