No that is just a real nice garage built machine. The carrier frame was fabricated just for this application.

It's major overkill to go hydro for a gear drive keeps a steady speed without constant adjustments and the need for a speedo.

If anyone wanted to use that machine as a mower I have a 52" deck and carrier frame for sale and a belt drive traction unit that needs a new engine
($300 for a 10hp electric start) and a new transmission and drive line parts.

Or I would be willing to trade my 52" deck and carrier frame for the spreader/sprayer part of this machine.

1200 hours is nothing for these Toro hydros for I have one with 2500 hours and it runs like new.

Ground Speed has everything to do with Calibration and a Constant Ground Speed of the gears drives make for a better Fert & Squirt Machine.

Overkill Yes, But the Guy tried to make this machine out of Quality Parts. The Spreader looks like a Spiker, Which is one of the best Spreaders. The SS Tank is also Overkill of Quality parts. However a Poly Tank would allow the operator to see how much material was still left in the tank.

This Machine looks like a Jack D invention. A lot of effort, But He is just not smart enough to do it right. The Machine is more than likely for sale because he realized the Green and Yellow grass was caused by it. At least he is Smart enough to know when to bail, Jack D would spend a small fortune trying to make it work only to find out he started with the wrong mower, or in his case wrong truck.

Looks like a money maker....if you knew what you were doing.
