Rural King question??

Typhoon · May 24, 2004

I am thinking about possibly buying a finish mower from my local Rural King. However, im not sure what brand of equipment they sell. All of it is red, but there is not a brand name on any of it. I have heard rumors of it being "First Choice" but I would like to know from somebody who knows for sure. Thanks!

There is not allot of difference in Caroni and First Choice. Sitrex, Caroni, Del Marino, & First Choice use the same gearbox, pulleys, Quill spindles, leveling bushings, & belts. Caroni has a box frame mower just like FC but sells mostly their stamped deck rear discharge mower with a floating hitch.

Rural King buys their mowers and tillers from Wallace in Raliegh, IL, just north of Harrisburg. They are Caroni's. You may be able to cut a deal from Wallace's, however if you can pick it up there.

Jim, thats exactly what I did! I live in Anna IL, and work in Carbondale IL. I have a friend who introduced me to Rod Wallace, and he gave me a heck of a deal on a Caroni Tiller.
