- 1979 Ford 1500, Toro 455D 10' mower w/ Renault diesel,
I just bought a 3 cyl Yanmar diesel John Deere 430. It has a 60" heavy duty mower deck. It has 3 hydraulic levers. A friend sold it to me and he also made a HUGE grass catcher with a separate 5HP Honda engine.
But it seems to me that this has more uses than a lawn mower. I just saw an ad for someone selling a 3 point hitch for one of these, for $400. Not sure if that is high or low, or what. AND, what about a PTO? I read some other stuff about maybe being able to add a rear PTO??
Would this be better asked in Customization or Hydraulics section?
Just wondering what else I can use this for. We have a 1962 IH B414 gasser and I like this JD a lot better. But I know I won't have the same HP or bucket, etc..
thanks for any feedback. I could try to post a couple of pics if anyone wants to see what I have.
