I bought a used 88" Alamo 4 years ago, Spent about 200$ on new knives and clevis's (Knife holders) + about $50 on new bearings for the roller. Run it behind a 1650 oliver, mow about 24 acres 3 times a year. The ground is in Grovecity Oh and is owned by my Church. The knives had to be ordered because of all of the construction carp that gets dumped on open ground. I have hit hidden chunks of concrete, rocks ect. and have yet to really damage the unit. Also have cut several 5 acre lots with it. Does a real nice job. Only draw back I see is it does NOT like to mow really heavy tall stuff (ragweed ect..). Likes to wrap this stuff and the 1650 wont go slow enough. It does need new slip clutches but they manage to hold till slipped hard once or twice then they need a new layer of rust! Would I recomend one... YEP, excellent for mowing along fences because its up close to the tractor, and does a very nice job. DuaneWKKC
