Anyone after a mower?

Been asked to shift this

About 2 & 1/2 passes should do my lawn.

Very limited market for kit like that secondhand. Golf clubs etc all just buy new.

there's a fella round here makes a living dealing in s/h gear just like this Doob

I sold a second hand reel mower similar to this to a local cricket club. Buying new wouldn’t have been an option for them, they were pulling an old land driven trailed Ransome before.

Is this the part where you offer to take it off my hands FOC?

I don't know the first thing about mowers, must have been a pricey bit of kit new? Looks to be about 30 years old judging by the numberplate on the back, not sure how much of that has been spent parked up.

Site manager wants it gone, not sure I can be arsed dragging it out!

I would but that’s a very long day out for me.. I’m sure someone else will be along shortly

My last hayter had a kubota engine , main issue will be the fact it’s been left there is because the engine poop’ed itself

Be lovely if it was local
A mobile diesel/hydraulic pump would be full of possibilities

Unless of course the engine is the reason it's been abandoned.

The noise is unreal!! I've stood on the airfield as a380's land and they have nothing on the b52. And the b1's are load aswell.
But the b52 is even more impressive to watch land than take off as they land half sideways with their 4 wheels crabbing

Well, I took my eldest kid swimming this morning, the cafe has amazing cakes and good eye candy, then onto the butchers for banging scotch egg and sausage rolls, followed by screaming kids for the rest of the day - bliss!
