Mowing Looks like a Slope Mower.

What! A demo (read as used) for 25 - 30 hours (by whom and under what conditions) and they are going to give you a whole 1 - 2 thousand off? Unless they are throwing the trailer in, I would take a pass.

Thats what my Dad told me. I may be a different machine (he gets model numbers mixed up) but he said an 1845 sounds like what they told him. Thats why I'm gonna try and call them again today after I get home from school.

But really does anyone know about a PT Contour Mower for the TSM class mowers?

If they made one, I would expect it to be listed on their price sheets.

It just kinda bugs me how I saw one in use on the DVD but it's not listed in the price sheets. Well when I call them today I'll ask them. That mower seems like a better mower and more for our needs.

I already know PT has one for their tractors because I saw it. Probably for the 1845. 0I know about the attachments thing. The forks we'll get for it are some allied brand.

Many years ago PT experimented with a Lastec articulated deck for the 1845. There was one prototype built at that time. I have it.

Bob, How about a picture.

Yes, please, photos!

Touring Tazewell, it becomes clear that PT does make lots of one off prototypes. Terry was pretty helpful in sharing a number of the modifications that they have done over the years. If it is heavy metal and hydraulics, they'll do it- for price. I looked into a reversing tiller and it was pricey, so, I decided that I could hop off the tractor if I really needed to. As it turns out, I haven't needed to, so there you go.

All the best,

Peter

Yes, How 'bout Photos!
They Don't make one anymore, right?

Well, I just got off the phone with Chris at Power-Trac. He was very helpful with recommending a machine. The 1845 is the closest machine to our needs he told me. He also told me that if we go down there that they'll let us try a machine and do whatever! Mow, brushcut and other stuff. I wasn't really to keen to the idea of going all the way down to Tazewell. Remember, I live in Michigan. But now I think it'd be a good idea.

Also, the Lastec deck for the 1845 was discontinued because lack of sales.

when Power Trac starts quoting you shipping costs, you will probably find that it would be worth the trip.

I would probably have more Power Trac impelemnts for my 422, but I have always balked when I found that I would pay a significant percentage of the implements cost for shipping (such as the aerator was "hazardous cargo" and would cost $700 to ship... funny, because the Land Pride aerator that I ended up buying from someone else was equally as sharp and only cost $100 to ship)

If you go that far, take the opportunity to visit Washington D.C. if you haven't ever been there. Good for your education.
