How about an acre or 3.5?MasterMech said:...Couple fairly low-hour Tri-Kings too if you wanted something to mow an acre or two reel-low.
There's a Tri King in Lawrenceville, GA on marketplace with 800hrs for $3000.. there's another with 1800hrs, for $1000coreystooks said:@MasterMech I'm going to be watching those tri-kings as well as the 2653a's. What do you think would be a good price on them?
I may be a poor judge, but that sure doesn't look like an 800 hour machine to me. Also, it looks like they've rattle canned the two forward cutting units.paulwrunge said:There's a Tri King in Lawrenceville, GA on marketplace with 800hrs for $3000.. there's another with 1800hrs, for $1000coreystooks said:@MasterMech I'm going to be watching those tri-kings as well as the 2653a's.

I drove down to Moultrie and picked up two salvage 180sl's back in December and talked to them about shipping options. If you go the freight option, you will pay $50 for the weeks staff to drain the fluids and palletize the mower. They do have a guy who delivers via trailer in a certain mile radius for a flat fee per mile. Unfortunately, looks like you might be too far away. I crunched the numbers after renting a truck, gas and a hotel for one night came out to about the same it would've cost me to have it delivered. I wanted to check out their facility, so driving down was a good option and it was cool to check out all of the equipment on their lot.dugue4 said:How hard/expensive is it to set up shipping with the recommended 3rd part?
Well this is a bit disheartening for a guy wanting to get his first reel mower, haha.jimbeckel said:I drove down to Moultrie and picked up two salvage 180sl's back in December and talked to them about shipping options.

They said they have two big buyers who purchase the bulk of the gear and than put it in conex boxes and ship them out for refurb and the resale market.
You'll be fine if you bid high enough. It's the wife who's really going to be disheartened with your lawn addiction.Rowdy said:Well this is a bit disheartening for a guy wanting to get his first reel mower, haha.jimbeckel said:I drove down to Moultrie and picked up two salvage 180sl's back in December and talked to them about shipping options.

What type of mower are you looking to buy. I'm probably going to sell my allet with all of the cartridges, it's shippable without doing the pallet and freight optionRowdy said:Well this is a bit disheartening for a guy wanting to get his first reel mower, haha.jimbeckel said:I drove down to Moultrie and picked up two salvage 180sl's back in December and talked to them about shipping options.

I would have gone for that Toro 450D I sent you but that's just me and my nostalgia. :lol:Ware said:How about an acre or 3.5?MasterMech said:...Couple fairly low-hour Tri-Kings too if you wanted something to mow an acre or two reel-low.![]()
I have no idea. I haven't bought/sold one and they don't pop up on the auctions nearly as often as the 2653s. The Deere's will probably sell better than the Jakes, even with higher hours. Low-hour 2653a units are typically in the $8k+ range.coreystooks said:@MasterMech I'm going to be watching those tri-kings as well as the 2653a's. What do you think would be a good price on them?
I bought transport wheels for my toro gm1000 and never use them. I do use the grass catcher thoughBombers said:Yes to buying complete. You'll hear from both camps as to if the wheels and/or catcher is necessary. It's better to have than not to have and you'll always find people needing them all the time if you want to get rid of it.
I haven't pulled out my transport wheels and axles in close to two years, and rarely use my catcher unless I'm trying to gauge clippings on my GM1600. I never understood the need for them, but certainly wouldn't part with them because of it.jimbeckel said:I bought transport wheels for my toro gm1000 and never use them.

They'll be healthy.lbb091919 said:All that JD green and not a single 220 grass catcher. Dang.
Will be interesting to see the bidding
