Ride on for wet grass

On look out for rideon for wet grass, cant afford commercial grade gear, and light domestic stuff I have if sold should make about £3500, any reccommendations?

Have looked at Kubota GR 1600 an new can be picked up for £5300 looks to be between domestic/commercial, any good deals on small iseki

Its been so wet lately has to be cut rain or shine an am trying to boost business up.


cheers

what size machine are you looking for CJ ?

looking at something 17 hp plus with in around 100cm cutting width, seems a sensible machine for large domestic/light commerical work.

Unfortunately we have no Estia dealers near me in NI, Kubota a bit of a trip a away, what are you thinking of?

hi CJ

cyril johnstons cover north ireland

the best machine for your budget would be the bahia, it has fantastic collection in both wet and dry conditions including useing for leaf clearence, its fitted with a 80cm cutting deck and you can attach a snow plough to the front if needed while fitting its tow bracket to pull a self drive spreader or small trailer. also you can get a mulching kit and side discarge deflector

a new MHHE2 will be £3648.00 + vat so just a little over your stated budget but for a new machine
