Looked at a F3060 today

[Barnbuilder]

Looked like a nice machine. Its owned by a grading company and they use to mow the property. Paint was a little worn, few dents. Tires looked good. Seat needs to be replaced. My biggest question was this. When using the hydrostat pedal there was not a smooth transition from forward to stop or reverse. I don't think that is normal from the other machines I've looked at. any ideas what could be the issue? Also the parking brake is a pain to get engaged. There is a pin that comes off the hydro pedal that fits in a groove on the parking brake release lever. If my memory is correct. So this has to match before the ratchet teeth on the parking brake release engages with the brake itself. Any ideas on this? Unit has 1446 hours. Headlight was broken. They are pretty firm on price at $8000. The deck was labeled RCX-60. Isn't that a 60" deck? They have it listed as 72".

I've also found a F2560 about an 1-1/2 away. It has 1700hrs, asking $5750. In the pictures the paint looks better. Seat is torn. It has a canopy.

Steve Barlow told me last week that my old ( I bought it new) F2680e with probably under 200 hours and with a near new 72" side discharge deck is or was for sale. A Mr Bingham, former Sheriff of Knox County, Barbourville, Ky had bought it from Barlows last year after I traded it to Barlows for a ZD326 I'd buy it back if I had any use for it, already have a F3080 and a ZD326. I can get you the phone number if your interested or Google Bingham in Barbourville, Ky and call and any one that answers can tell you his name and probably number..

I talked to him last year when he had it. He wanted $10.5 for it plus shipping. Think it was $1000 for shipping.

Barlow doesn't have it. He sold it to the elderly man in Barbourville who now has it for sale or is wanting to trade it to Barlows for a zero turn mower. May be a bargain for one that doesn't have 200 hours on it and documented history since new and a 72" deck with maybe 50 hours on it.
