Steiner UM428 Utilimax info?

cstamm81 · Jun 10, 2017

Still on the hunt for a new to me Ventrac or Steiner. I came across a UM428 for sale at a dealer. 26.5hp diahatsu diesel, 600 hours, 60" deck. They want 10k for it. I searched, couldn't find much info on them. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with them? They have a small dump bed and you sit in the front of the machine with a steering wheel. My main questions are whether or not it takes all the same attachements as normal Steiners? Any opinions on the engine? They look really interesting / useful, any info would be greatly appreciated.

The Utilimax can connect with almost every Steiner attachment except the loader and offset mower. Can't use dual wheels, so it is not suitable for slopes. Engine has a good track record.

Does a utilimax fit the boom mower? I'm buying a boom, so whatever power unit I go with has to work with this. Mast Lepley still has this UM428.
