New member to the forum - my first post -
I need something to haul wood and do general "chores". Looking at a 1986 AMT600 that the owner says ran "fine" until 3 weeks ago, when it stopped firing. Says that it needs a new external fuel pump. What all can go wrong with one of these rigs - looks like a number of them are still in service after 20+ years - what should I be looking at to be sure that the gator hasn't been run into the ground.
Can you plow snow with the AMT? Do they make a cab for them?
How much can they haul, and how good are they on slopes? They look to be pretty wide. Anybody know why Deere went away from the single front wheel - was there a stability issue there? Where can I get specs on the unit?
Sorry for all of the questions, but thanks for any insights that anyone might have.
