Tractor Mower for saleWe are also selling this gem.Shibaura GT161 tractor Mower. Excellent condition. Diesel engine with 283 Hrs on clock. All service points are grouped on one side of the engine for easy maintenance. Engine is very robust with cast iron block (even the silencer is cast iron). This type of engine has excellent durability and longevity. Cooling air is forward blown with a pre-clean screen on the radiator this means that the operator is not having warm air blown at them as well as being able to easily remove any build up of chaff on air intake grills to maintain cooling efficiency. High and Low range hydrostatic transmission gives greater sense of control with both direction and speed being controlled with one rocking action pedal. Full power steering is very light and fast lock to lock making it highly manoeuvrable (810 mm minimum turning radius). The steering column is adjustable for added driver comfort. The deck is a 48" three blade side discharge deck. Drive to the deck is via a mid PTO. I know from doing it that she will pull a trailer with a half ton of stone over rough ground as well as mow rushes three ft tall  well, they had to go  She is a really usefull dual purpose machine and will suit both allotment or plain grass or really rough and trying to reclaim ground like we have.
2,500 euros or nearest offer. |

Wow !
Hope these aren't silly questions after that detailed spec but would she cut hay ( or chop it up too much ) ? What chance of damage to the blades / underside if she went over a prominent rock ? Thanks .

She would make great silage but hay would be a bit beyond her. As with any blade you would get dings and bent bits of the blade when hitting rocks, just resharpen it and it should be fine. Unless you break it of course, but then you just get a new one
We havnt broken a blade yet but its not for want of trying
And I am happy to answer any question you might have
