New Takeuchi TL250 with cab heat & air, high flow Hyd, High ambient cooling package, reversible fan, 80" dirt bucket for $73K...good price??

Are there any major differences between the Fecon mulchers mfg in 2008, and current ones?

That's a smoking hot deal. I priced one out in Edmonton Alberta and they wanted close to 120K for it(count approximately 25/30K for a head in that).

has anyone heard of any ftx 140s burning

I have a 140 and yours is the first one I have seen. Mine even had a turbo oil line break and spray oil on the turbo and it did not catch. Do you know the point of ignition, or were you just happy to get out?

How often did you clean out the engine compartment? Was it completely clean when you bought it?

Takeuchi vs. PT100...is one any better/worse than the other?? If so, for what reasons?

ride in a tak and then ride in an asv then you decide

I don't notice a big enough difference in the ride to make it an issue. I actually think due to the stiffer tracks some of the smaller rocks/logs don't bounce you around as much.

You know, even my Takeuchi salesman said it would ride worse.

I think it floats in mud better too.

I thought ASV had something new coming out...

They do seem to be trying to improve their machine for mulching..
