Update from Q&A on ebay:

Question & Answer Answered On
Q: Any idea how many hours on this tractor? Jun-26-11
A: Hour Meter Reads just over 3200 hrs, it's electric, so we believe it may have had the key left on more than once. Machine does not run or work like a 3200 hrs machine. Customer that we bought it from felt that it was a 1500hrs machine. He had hired help running it!

That's an awful lot of leaving the key on...like six or eight months of guys turning it off and then back on again...

All the best,

Yeah. I think the battery would run down.

I have 50 extra hours on my PT425 from just leaving the key on for two days by accident.

Me to!

Ok ditto

 

[ponytug]

OK...1600 hours divided by 50 is.. 320 weekends.... how slow is the learning curve?

or 32 but still pretty slow

say it does actually have 3200hrs on it....

Who has a PT with that much time on it? I know those Deutz engines are rugged, but will someone potentially be looking at a new engine (or at least a major overhaul) in the near future? What about the HST drive? As a mower, the majority of the time would have been spent moving....

Also, is that a finish mower or a flail mower? Those spindles make it look like it would be a flail mower, but I would also expect them to not be rigid at that angle. Not being familiar with large mowers, I'm not exactly sure what I am looking at....

Even at 1600 hrs, there is still a concern about engine, wheel motors, and pumps.

It is a rotary mower-not a flail mower. It appears to be a 90" mower and I think PT only offers a "rough cut" mower in the 90" size and then offers a finish mower conversion kit as an extra.

This is what PT offers:

That's no 90" mower on it. The width of an 1845 is 70" and the mower looks to be about the same, so I'd guess that's the 72".

What say you, finish or rough-cut?

I've got some gnarly stuff to knock down...

It's a rough cut, hinged blades. You can see one of the blades spun down in the last picture.

Agree. I was (mistakenly) thinking of the 1850 when I suggested it was a 90" mower.
