You had better know where you can get parts for them before you buy one.

Ive seen em I think its a tonutti ranch rite is one of the names. Its a gear drive. New holland sold some versions of the tonutti a few years ago. I have a tonutto fr 0245 and can get parts especially blades at NH. Most Nh dealers prefer to sell a line and not the NH mowers because they switch suppliers often just like deere and AGCO.

The Ranch Rite disc mower is made in China. It is a copy of the Lely Optimo but uses the hex shaft instead of the square shaft. The disc are copies of a New Idea disc but use a different blade bolt. The weakness is they do not use the Lely/Vermeer spring steel 14mm hex shaft. Omni Gear the producer of the mower has had problems sourcing a hex shaft that works. The hydraulic lift cylinder is poor quality. Disc mowers from China are years away form the quality the US market demands. Another company marketed these mowers and ended up purchasing 30% of them back due to quality issues.
