My (bought used) SR15 has been a very good mower. Heavy duty gear boxes. Look for a mower that doesn't have a lot of dents and bent up edges.

If you can get an FM they are heavier than the SR. Mine is close to 20 yrs old and have had to do some work on it, but considering they way it's been used it's great. Like it better than Bush hogs I've had, even though they are now both made by Alamo. BTW, the SR is supposed to be fine just to for as heavy use. Keep the cv greased, not cheap to replace.
David1, Like Charlie said the FM is a heavier Series over the SR s. I personally pulled a SR-15 M for over 5 yrs for a relative. Pulled it with a JD 4230, We were cleaning up old, over grown Central Texas native pasture. He Didn't care what it took, Get it done. this old girl was used, not new and terribly old either. I believe I have called on it to go above and beyond what the average person will ask of a shredder. O know its weak points which are very few. (Blade Bolts) when asked to chew up 4in and smaller Live oak & Big Cedar trees. Rocks, stumps, rolls of Bard wire It is one tough Sow! When a blade Bolt lets go things get entertaining! LOL!
Gear boxes are solid,make sure the slip clutches are not frozen up before you start use.... A drive ling can and will twist....Don't ask me how I know!
If that Shredder has been taken care of Buy it, If it looks like it had been drug through Hell walk away. If you would Like Holler @ Me, and visit about it...My # is (512) 577-3837 Hope this helps!
