dhermesc 0 Posted October 19, 2007 I noticed a 810GT came up for sale not to far from me (but its a ways). Before I drive across the country side what can you tell me about them? Are they a true heavy duty garden tractor or an over rated riding lawn mower? Owner says it has a 12hp Briggs with a recent overhaul and that its a bit tough to get into low gear at times.

Tacey 0 Posted October 19, 2007 I have the equivilent Simplicity, 6000 series (6011 Broadmoor II). I'v had it 4 years, use it every week to cut grass. I've also pushed snow with it, and one winter I had a snowthrower attachment. All worked flawlessly. Oh, and I've hauled a ton of stuff with a Simplicity wagon. It's easy on gasoline. What's not to like? Tacey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dhermesc 0 Posted October 19, 2007 Do they have a Hi/Low transmission in addition to the 3 speed? How heavy of hitch do they have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarksA-C 93 Posted October 19, 2007 I thibnk the transmission si the same as the older broadmoors except for the longer axles and drive pulley. The frames are like the 4000-6000 Series simplicitys and are ok for weight. The trans is really strong and has alot of pulling power. I think they are a nice combo on frame and trans.

Chris727 1,844 Posted October 19, 2007 I had one of these and sold it, it was a nice riding mower but it does not compare to a large frame tractor as far as attachments and these series were not designed for Hi-low units. I do think there may have been a sleeve hitch offered for these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a medium-duty small frame garden tractor. It had a rear tiller available, as well as the other attachments I mentioned above. Have you read about it on the SimpletrACtors web site? And, it has an excellent cut quality for your lawn. Tacey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
