Hello,
This may be of interest to all of you who have read or submitted threads on TSC rotary cutters and the mystery to what mfg had made them.
I stumbled across an old stock Countyline 4 ft cutter that is displayed alongside new stock Countyline cutters.
There appears to be some unique differences.
The old stock appears to have made by Tarter. (At least that is my guess based on pictures I have found on the net.
The gearbox is larger, has squared sides and not round like the County line.
Manager will knock about $80 of the old stock Countyline unit.
And will upgrade the PTO shaft because someone just stole the stock PTO shaft on older unit.
The upgrade shaft is a $189 one with some type of clutch (I think)
What concerns would there be with the older Countyline/ Tarter?
It has surface rust no big deal to me but has rust on input shaft but that I am sure will happen to all that site out in weather without grease on them.
Please note that both cutters are single rear wheel. I only included the red two wheels Tarter because it has the gearbox like the old stock County line I am considering...
I am positive the older Countyline is Tarter and is identical to the red one in picture with the exception of one wheel.
Thanks for your opinion.
