A used in in Australia for 60K... Hmmmmmmmm Ain't gonna get that purchase past the wife. Can't find a US distributor, but I swear I saw one for sale on the net a while ago, some city unloading it.

It looks like the turning radius will be much longer than the PT, since it is not articulated.
Edit: The rear wheels steer too. I am probably wrong.

Four years ago they were about $100k, plus attachments. They are more capable than the video would suggest, closer to a high power 1850. They gain somewhat in effective power by the direct drive PTO.
Carl, there is a dealer in New England, New Hampshire Aebi. Is that the one you were thinking of?
Not a lot of attachments, but it will do the basics for cutting hay on steep slopes.
I considered it before buying the 1445. I couldn't rationalize the cost and the more specialized nature of the tractor, but your applications/uses may be different...
All the best,

That looks pretty cool. Sort of looks like a tele-handler without the tele-handler bit?
Now that I think of it, what would a used tele-handler cost? Remove the arm and it would be very similar looking that fancy thing. The standard onboard hydraulic pump should have enough grunt to run some kind of front and rear 3PL set-up for STD 3PL attachments, run a hydro-motor/PTO drive for standard 3PL attachments, and of coarse some remotes. Just dreaming obviously but it would be a good project and you'd have to be able to make it for a fraction of that $100,000+ ???
I'm just sitting, looking out to space, thinking & twisting my mustache with my fingers saying "Hmmm" periodically

Yesterday I got caught up in a bog... Loaded the tires good ( dualies really hold a ton of mud). So to knock the mud off I get going fast. I only had a 25degree slope so I did extremely tight figure 8 as fast as I can 6 mph... Farmer was driving up the road and stopped and stared. A few circuits, mud was off. Farmer thought I had had a stroke and was dying on the tractor. Couldn't believe anyone would risk sideways on a slope let alone turning and running at that speed..
Anyway, point of this is we have a heck of a machine at one heck of a price. 100 k for a cab and computer? Even if I did my dream mods to the pt I still would be way under 50 k.

I've modded my little guy, some things more than once, and the whole package with all the implements is still just slightly over $11K out of pocket to date, including the service and repairs...
