DaveM54 0 #1 Posted May 21, 2018 Pardon me if I am messing up by starting a new thread--this is my first post here. I have been offered a Work Horse GT 1600 with mower deck and snowblower. Everything looks pretty good. I have not yet seen it running but am assured "it ran last year" (yeah, we've all heard that, right?). Not interested at all unless I see it running, but does anyone have any tips or thoughts on this model and the attachments? It's certainly well-built. Has been in storage and needs a good cleaning but I can't find a ding or a crack or a missing piece anywhere! So....the seller wants $650 for the tractor and attachments. Assuming it is in running condition, is that a reasonable price? Seems a bit high to me but I've seen a lot of MTDs (which I do not want) offered for the same price and this one looks a lot more solid. Just want to be as certain as possible of what I may be getting into before I get into it! LINK HAS BEEN REMOVED BY MODERATORS no idea if the link will work but that is my local Facebook Marketplace. There are a couple of semi-decent photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasey54 304 #2 Posted May 21, 2018 Price seems good to me , if in fact it runs good, and the mower deck is good. If the snowblower is good as well then its a great deal. Ive had two and they are great machines. I prefer the Kohler's but the briggs are good too. I also have a GT1100 I have tilled with for 5 years. Good luck, I say go for it.

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,041 #3 Posted May 21, 2018 Welcome. Sorry but I had to remove the link to the for sale ad per the rules. You could post a few pictures if you would like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 24,172 #4 Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) If it runs good and transmission is sound it seems reasonable. No comparison with an MTD or the other stuff made these days... Post a couple of pics and it would help get you some more feedback. Edited May 21, 2018 by SylvanLakeWH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
