The other 2 pics are of my boss on the 185 that I just fixed up for work. We use it to harrow and pack septic fields after we spread the top soil. I get paid to ride around on a 3 wheeler at work, dosent get much better than that,lol! At 6'4 he kinda looks like a bear on a tricycle riding it around,haha. Enjoy!

yes sir, 1" on each side. going to do the skinny front tire mod on it this week. thinking a 23-8-10 itp mud lite or kenda bear claw. which ever is cheaper. also some point I want to replace the 22" tires on the back with 25" to get the revs down on top end. It seams like it wants to explode when I am in 5th going down the road. Anyone else notice this with 22's on their SX? I temporarily put some 27's on the back and it totally fixed the gearing issue but they were a bit ridiculous and rubbed on the fenders.

Most 25's will rub the muffler and fenders :(. But yes, do work better!

Thanks for posting Rudi ! I enjoy reading/looking at the areas I most likely will never get to visit that member have for their riding area.
One question do come to mind, why the 185 3 wheeler for pulling the roller verses a quad ?
The 185-S I had was a real trooper. I mowed lawn with it (3 actually - neighbors turning around with the reel type gang mowers and the church across the street) for 4 + years then the Mrs. got a real riding mower.

we were using the boss's Honda forman 500, but it has big knobby tires on it and would tare up the field. plus the 185 is much easier to load in the back of the truck, with more room for other stuff. but probably mostly because I am a 3 wheeler nut and talked him in to buying a cheap one that I could fix up, haha
