A 485 is just like a ski boat. The owner is proud of it on the purchase date and sell date and few times between.

Lol. Ain't that the truth. New bought a nice one at an auction. 21'. Got it home and started to pull it. Pulled harder than a 32' disk ever thought about pulling. Then we noticed the bearing standards were welded to the tubes and not adjustable. Worked great when it was new but if the spools had a little wear there was no way to tighten up the blades because the bearing couldn't move. Mdumbest idea ever.
However the wing folding part worked well. It would cut up anything it would go over the top of almost like a true cutting disk. Just took 300 horses to do it. Neighbor just had to have it so we got exactly our money out of it and let him get it. He sold it a year later at an auction and I met it going down the highway. I saw who was pulling it and it couldn't have ended up at a nicer mans place! I'm sure he found a way to screw the next guy into buying it.. |
