Found a used B1750 HST w/FEL and mid-mount mower. Did this model come with power steering? It's listed as a 1990 with under 600 hours. Asking price is $10,000 which seems high to me. Any comment?
My opinion is that $10,000 is a fair price for the 4wd version. I'm sure that if you did a lot of research you'll find them selling in the range of $9000-$11000.
Assuming the B1750 is designed like its big brother (the B2150), one of the problems that you'll possibly have with this tractor is that the mid-PTO and the rear-PTO operate from a single lever. This means that if you attach a 3-point PTO-driven implement while the mid-mower is attached then you will engage both implements simultaneously when you put the PTO in gear. To bypass this problem you'll have to either remove the mid-mower or at least remove the mid-mower's PTO shaft. Your particular usage will determine whether this is a problem or not.
A few minutes ago I put out another post with a lot of the B1750 specifications. I won't repeat them here.
Thanks Kelvin. Your other post was most helpful. The B1750 isn't too far from my home, so I'm going to check out the mid/rear pto situation, power steering and mower deck removal firsthand.
