[QUOTE="Cucumber35, post: 1442020, member: 25728"] Just wanted to give a follow up and thank everybody for the input. Went for a 15' batwing over a 10' and so far I'm glad I did. Found a used John Deere 1518 locally. Older machine but appears to be lightly used and not abused and well maintained. Found one wing hinge bracket is cracked and needs welded. Other than that the oil looked like new in the gearboxes and I greased it up and mowed about 10 acres tonight. Follows the contours of the ground much better than the 3pt we've been using with less scalping and leaving high spots in the dips. I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something with it also! Gave $4500 and he threw in a solenoid valve and control to split one of my two remotes to be able to operate the wings independently. So far I'm happy with it and feel good about it considering two different dealers both have the same model on the lot for $6000 each and they don't look to be in any better condition. Thanks again, makes decisions easier by learning from others experience. [/QUOTE]
