Default Bolens Tractor

g'day gary,

i tried a quick google but couldn't realy find out about the model you
have.

anyway as for add on bits if it is a 3 point linkage system with a
power take off then pretty much any brand of equipment should fit.

as for engine parts yeh well that could be expensive and hard, you may
have to try and adapt? we had a bolens/iseki and found that out, nice
comfy tractor to drive.

you may need to i'd what engine it has to seek engine parts out, ours
had an isuzu diesel.

this link may help if you hven't already tried it:

Hi Len, thanks for the reply, i have an ST 3016 -
http://www.sonnysbolens.com/manuals/suburban.htm\

It's a lawn Tractor, not a big one, but bigger than the standard lawn mower.
16HP Briggs twin cylinder, hydrostatic drive.
I have seen a youtube clip of a similar tractor to mine using a tiller and
the brochure says it can be attached. I would preferr a second hand one
because i think a new one would not justify the cost.

oh ok gary,

i was looking for tractors as in tractors probably why i couldn't get
a description of what you had.

a big lawn mower, yeh they may call them lawn tractors but that is
where the similarity ends, have seen many rider mower fail from over
excursion of load. but would guess the rotary hoe device would have
it's own power source so would not be cheap to buy new, probably
almost as dear as the rider mower.

you don't give an indication of where you are in the world? local is
where you may have to look for a second hand unit ie.,. local being if
you live in australia you may have to search all major centres at
least.

first suggestion would be seek out all mower dealerships that deal
with bolens equipment they may know of a local client who has
purchased a hoe and no longer requires it? so could mean some snail
mail use or phone. would figure rural or semi-rural type areas might
be the go.

just as a suggestion might be more efficient to get someone in who has
the equipmment to do rotary hoeing?
