Non differential walk behinds?

[TomSeller]

My only solid axle machine is resting in its above ground grave,,,

it has been replaced.

Replaced by machines that have a differential.

I now have zero use for the TB!!:dance1:

I guess I kinda got caught by the Gravely "bug",,,, :confused2:

I had never seen a black Troybilt before. Nice Gravelys !

Some BCS tractors with differentials, such as 749 and 852/853 sold in the US, have individual wheel brakes, with one brake lever in the outboard position on each handlebar.

Some BCS mowers, such as the 660WS, do not have a differential but have individual wheel clutch/brake units similar to those described above by oldmech. The 660WS only uses front mounted implements such as mowers. BCS America said several months ago that they expected the 660WS to be available in the US within the next year. 66 HY WS PowerSafe

The black Troy Bilt was a 25th Anniversary Special Dean Leath Edition,,, it came with EVERY option,, plus about 5 special things.

Some BCS tractors with differentials, such as 749 and 852/853 sold in the US, have individual wheel brakes, with one brake lever in the outboard position on each handlebar.

The two Gravely's towards the left have a third handlebar,,, that extra bar is steering brakes,,,

So I'm going to avoid any that are definitely with a solid axle then. It seems one of the Goldoni's I'm looking at has some sort of unlocking device which I guess is to be used when turning. Probably best for me to just get another Goldoni, so I can easily swap rear implements. I have a bigger one with a powered trailer, and aside from not having the reversible handlebars, it is a nuisance to have to swap off handlebars and mount the steering wheel and trailer and all different bowden cables...

I need to call the seller of one to verify what system it has, because the Goldoni Mondial can have two different axles:
"AXLE WITH DIFFERENTIAL RELEASE "


"DEAD AXLE"


But this "dead axle" looks like it has a mechanism to disengage one wheel from the axle for turning...

That 660ws looks like an amazing machine. However it must cost over $10k. I have to admit I would pay $6000 for a gas version. The hydro would make a huge difference.
