Ken B 3,134 #1 Posted June 15, 2010 This is just a quick Vid of the C-175 I picked up off good buddy Stevebo who lives about 2 miles away. I've cut grass with many a tractor in my day but nothing really compares too the sound and feel of this 175. If I only had a super thick lawn, I'd luv too hear the KT 17 dig in. http://www.youtube.com/user/Feathercrafter...u/0/Csn6cOIlP7c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,134 #8 Posted June 16, 2010 If I should ever sell it, Jimbo you are right at the top for sure. Steve did do a fantastic job on this tractor. I know how much work it is to get a tractor to be in this condition so I really appreciate all the effort. I was never a big fan of the black hoods, that is until I saw this one and especially after I drove it. It really is one big, bad boy. I thought the 518 was real powerful pushing snow last yr. Ha! This one has as much power, (if not more) and it has much greater ramming speed abilities. I can't wait for the first big snow storm. Not!! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,021 #9 Posted June 16, 2010 Nice tractor Ken! Hopefully you keep it for longer than the other guys did :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,264 #10 Posted June 16, 2010 Ken, That tractor really is a nice one. If I had to pick the one thing I would change on that tractor would be the smaller steering wheel makes it a little more difficult to steer. It is one of the fastest I have driven too.

bo dawg 507 #11 Posted June 16, 2010 It does look great! I want to be next in line. Those 175's are neat tractors, I love mine. They just ride differently and the KT-17 sounds and runs smooth. I think of mine as a cadilac of . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(was only getting 3000 out of it) Tiny tach's are awesome. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
