Satoh S650G

[Bear 55]

Hi all, I am looking at a couple of 650's and wondering about parts availability as well as any experience
in the actual performance in use.
I have an 8n that does fine pullin implements but I want to use a tiller and the 8 doesn't have a low enough gear ratio to do that.
Also I could use some input on the value of this model................Thanks, Cliff

Got one here---used it on my king-kutter 72" tiller for years---has diffy lock---hi-lo range trans and will barely crawl in L-1.---light on front end with a 72" tiller but handles it like a pro.
Parts?????? non-exist unless you can find used stuff. ---engine in mine is the Mazda 626 sedan motor----some had another brand motor in them. Mine is the old S series which was before Mitch. took over Satoh. Right now mine needs a head gasket, but I am not going to fix it.
Value????? I gave $100. for mine and used it hard on the tiller for 8 years on 4.5 acre garden.
