I figured Id throw a couple pictures up of my Steiners at work..these machines never stop working....the older one we took delivery of in april of 1989 brand new and is still in service today...broke 4 hr meters so far and probably has 11000-12000 hrs on it conservatively..
last pic is my dad mowing pulling the attachment i built..maxhine has a 6 ft Ventrac deck and pulling a 5 ft Steiner deck for a total of 10ft cut with overlap...
The 1st and 3rd pics were from last year..it was a bad week both Steiners down waiting on parts! We broke the RF axle mount for the lift.. a 6 ft deck and duals puts a lot of stress on it...old steiner is waiting for a new hose so i dropped the front axle and went thru the hydraulic motor ..wasnt in bad shape for never being touched....i resurfaced everything and put new
bearings in as PM...
2nd pic was what happens when an operator gets lazy and goes to far off edge...pic doesn't do it justice its very steep..
