Prater 75 #1 Posted April 8, 2009 Have found this and wondered what it is worth? I believe its a 257-H, it has a mower deck but I dont know the size. It starts and runs fine according to the owner. These pics were sent to me from a camera phone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,030 #2 Posted April 8, 2009 I have a chance to buy one just like that maybe the paint on this one is a little better, looks like a 48" deck, runs good and he wants $100 or best offer. still thinking if I want it :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #3 Posted April 8, 2009 I'm seeing alot more of these poping up in the local classifieds around me. Prices have been a couple hundred to as much as five hundred for runners....most from people who are upgradeing to box store rideing mowers because they feel the need a new tractor. These are good as a"mower"but lack the ability to use several of the attachments that make the bigger tractors maybe more desireable. I haven't owned one yet, we do have a few members here who have them & are happy with them...."bustedglass" is one. For the asking price I see them at around here I pass & save my money for the bigger Horses. :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docwheelhorse 2,684 #4 Posted April 8, 2009 The only thing I know about those tractors is if the transmission goes you have a lawn ornament.... my local dealer has a pair of them with bad transmissions and there aren't any new ones or parts to be had---don't know why. So I guess if I had the chance I would spend $100 but not much more........ Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prater 75 #5 Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks for the information. I figured it would be good to pull a wagon or something around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
