Question:
Dealers who sell articulating mowers.
Details:
I am interested in purchasing an articulated mower. I looked at the Dealer Locator and visited the dealers listed locally. I was told that they did not think these mowers are being sold in the United States. They are only available in Europe. Yet I have seen YouTube videos made here in the US of these mowers.
Please help me find a dealer who is interested in my business. I am in Southeaster PA. Southwester New Jersey, Delaware and even northern Maryland are not out of reach.

I did find one from a dealer north of reading, PA. Coincidentally just fired it up yesterday after it's winter nap.

I am in Ohio with no way to haul it but I asked my local dealer if they could special order it for me and am waiting on an answer! I really want this mower!

Hey John I have a question that I am hoping you can answer for me :) I did find one and I bought it and had delivered, but when we tried to put the deck in the service position there was no way that the belt was just lifting up to lift the deck, he couldn't figure it out either even after watching the video several times. He took it back to his shop and is trying to tell my that his rep is telling him that after some use the belt will stretch and will work off "easier" but is not guaranteeing that it will just slip right off like the video shows. Since I know you have one what's your thoughts about this? The video makes it look like nothing which is exactly WHY I wanted this for the ease of servicing & switching equipment on my own! Thanks in advance!

Ditto. I had(have) the same problem. Actually I saw it even before I bought it. I asked the dealer to demonstrate it and he had a hell of a time getting it off. He too said it would loosen with use. Given the few number of these that get sold I doubt he knows that from first hand experience.
I only used it for a month or so last year. But by the time I put it away for the winter it was noticeably looser. Still nothing like the video. In fact I suspect I would not want it that loose at all.
The first time I lifted the deck I had to resort to using tools to pry it off. Let's say three screwdrivers worth. By the last time it was just one screwdriver.
