My grandpa and dad's 170 diesel they bought new, I still enjoy using it as it  always brings back the memories of us working together. It not asked to do much anymore, but its a nice match with the 12 ft brush hog.

| yes it handles it great. It is a Rhino Stealth 12' batwing bought it new about 10 years ago, its been a good one. It is designed for 35-75 hp tractors. With the duals and fluid in the rear inside tires the tractor is very, very stable along road ditches and banks. |

| Looks like a very nice outfit, with duals and the straddle seat operator station would make it a very stable operating tractor. Nice looking tractor, I always like those 170 and 175 tractors. |

| ranger43, does that mower use single hydraulics(one way) If so how does that work? When raised up with wheels do you give it more hydo pressure and it folds? Looked at one on a lot that I thought was cute and would be nice for the 45. |

| Yes Steve, mine is plumbed with just one hose. When you raise it the center cylinder gets to maximum stroke then fluid gets devoted to one wing until its maxed then sent to the other wing. Its works very slick, I was surprised. It can be plumbed utilizing 2 remotes to operate wings independently. It flex's up to near 45 degrees I have been really pleased with it. |
