Hi just bought a ST160 with 174 hrs on it never seen one so clean before has deck with grass reduction system it came from a bereavment sale PO had it in an air conditioned barn
hi its basically a rotavator that fits on the back of the tractor the shaft on top is a power take off that takes drive from the engine via a shaft driven by pulleys off the engine theymake rotavating a happy chore as opposed to hard work
a mid mounted blade has feed back from front wheels if front wheel drops in a hole blade drops and fills hole if blade is out front a pothole causes another to be made just in front of it
the price list that came with the tiller i put on gtt lists a dump cart at £165.96 duratrac rear weights £72.34 and the DGT1700 that ive got at £4761.70
the dump cart was same colour as the tiller these weights fit the ST rear wheels on the outside and they fit GTs ,tube frames, QTs and XLs on the inside
the guy i bought the tiller had an st160 with the belt powered side mulcher fitted was in nice condition but he uses it so not for sale he had a bolens dump cart that he nearly sold me but then he decided it was to useful shame
Yes i love the STs ive got five of them 2 st120, 2 st140 and a st160 only got 2 decks a sweeper and a tiller for them though the hydros are realy nice to use and they have a very tight turning circle .
Guy i got from said his mate was a Bolens dealer back in the 80s was virtually giving the stuff away he was offered 2 snowblowers got some price lists as well il put them up in a bit
