Wasn't sure where to put this so here it is. It's hard to grasp just how big this thing is without seeing it in person. I have several panels off of it now to clean it up next week, but we have them all.

Picked this one up in Indiana from the same guy that we got the forklift from. It's a 96" 30HP diesel and cuts 6.7 acres/h @ 5.5 mph. Unit top speed is 10 mph. I can't see how anything can cut almost 7 acres at half it's ground speed. That would mean you can cut 2 acres in 15 minutes... :surprised

It runs great, but the reels wouldn't spin when we got it. The reels are already fixed (electrical problem) and had to put a hydraulic line on it this morning, one had a little leak and I pushed on it to see if it was loose and it broke right off. Need to get the pressure washer queen on it and service it so we can try it out. :woo

More pics to follow.

What a brute that thing is, no wonder it has a 30 hp diesel! I can't even imagine mowing at 10 mph, 2 is about my limit. Great score Geno very :cool

Thanks Major. We'll get some vids of it Nappy as soon as it's done.

Was getting ready to mow and thought I would compare. The 520 with the 60" deck looks tiny now. :rolling
