Rotary Cutter Bush Hog Squealer SQ160

[citytransplant]

Thanks for all the good feedback so far. I spoke with the guy today and he tells me he made a mistake when he put the listing up and that the unit is actually a (5 foot) RZ60 Razorback. From what I can tell by spec sheets, the RZ60 is inferior to the SQ160 so I definitely will not pay the $750 ask. I assume much of the wisdom above (check for oil leaks, rust, play in shaft ends, condition of blades, safety shields intact) still hold true. Are there any unique concerns about this model (RZ60)? Does anyone know what approximate price new is? Thanks again and I will keep you posted. He says he can't show it to me until Saturday.

thinking back i believe the razorback is a lighter duty unit. but if it is in good shape im thinking 5' squealers go for about 1400-1500 here, not sure about a razorback remember there are other units on the market that might be cheaper but you need to compare apples to apples. personally i would take a used squealer for the over a kk even if the price was the same.

I got a 5ft kk light duty mower,used it for 7 years or so now,works just as good as it did when new,ain't broken anything on it,[many others have same story.]

If you are just cutting weeds and grass and light brush,you don't need anything more,and you can't beat the price.

I never like to buy used anything,cause,its used,they are selling it for a reason,not saying you can't find good used things,its just that many are not good used things,and you're taking a chance,and in this case,savings for used over a new one ain't worth it.
