HeadExam 1,783 #2 Posted April 14, 2015 Haven't a clue what a Rotovater might set you back in GB, but here in the states one in that condition, surely will still fetch 150 US, maybe more. Even here Wheel Horse Rotovaters seem to be in short supply compared to other brands. The bearings and parts used in many of the Rotovaters as well as many other types of machinery were the same, but had different brand part numbers, a person good a cross referencing will save you a load of money.

meadowfield 1,900 #3 Posted April 14, 2015 is it complete - thats the first question. i.e. has it got the front mule, rear attachment bracket and pulley. Many are sold without this and not a lot of use... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bubbalove 54 #4 Posted April 14, 2015 yes its complete with mule and 2 rear attachment brackets 1 for a spare its in fare condition its not nicely painted its in used condition but seems to turn freely and I did notice the mule needed a bit of wd 40 as it turned but seemed tight maybe new bearing or 2 but it may not have been used for some time and just needs freeing up going to have another look tonight just wanted a rough price as im not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeadExam 1,783 #9 Posted April 15, 2015 500 wasn't bad at all for that haul. Rule of thumb, anytime it weighs more than you can carry, it's going to cost 500 Alain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
