60 inch howse question

[Jbbies]

I have found a 60 inch howse mower that i would say is 15 years old. Paint is gone but the body is in good shape not dents or anything. Guy wants $650 for it. I think this seems high but wondering what some of you all thought.

I have a Kubota B2620 do you think this is too much mower for it. I dont have heavy weeds or grass here, pretty light mowing.

Thanks B.

he's crazy

5' mowers like that should be 100$

What soundguy said, $150.00 at the most. you can find something new for less than $800.00, or try creigs list. for used.

i've bought plenty of 0-5yr old howse and KK 5' mowers under 200$ in otherwise good condition, just needing -very- minor repairs.. etc.

have gotten a hd old late 70's era 6' servis for free... needed some welding.. but cuts fine.. and is heavy like a tank...

A brand new 5ft Howse bush hog can be bought for about $725 around here.

It sold for less than that new. Ken Sweet

I bought my 72" King Kutter brand new 3 years ago for $725 on sale.

Full list price on that mower is $900. I doubt it was more than $650 brand new 15 years ago.
Howse Rough Cut Mower — 3-Point, Category 1, 5ft. Length | 3-Point Category 1 Implements | Northern Tool + Equipment

The starting price for good used equipment is 50% of new. 15 years stored outside is a significant detractor.


Your 26hp tractor should run a 5' mower no problems for light mowing.

in 99 I bought a 5' kk from tsc for 500$
