I kept checking kijiji (Canada's version of Craigslist) and grabbed the first one I saw come up once I had around 3000$. Expect to pay that for a good one, but have another 1 - 2 thousand for getting extra equipment from people online. I have quite a few resources for parts now.
Fantastic machine- nobody makes anything like it now and its good sturdy American manufactured steel construction. Thank- fully there are still lots of them around.
The Hefty G was built for a while in the image of the AC G. The Tilmor and the Tuff-Bilt, and the OGGUN, all of the basic AC G design, are available for purchase new at this time.
They have them but other than being a fancy cultivator for stuff like greens they fall short in allot of areas seeing they're often priced at a Kubota Base L25 which will also cut hay but isn't as good at the cultivation.
I have been able to get the plow, sickle mower and cultivators for the front pretty easy. The front weight was harder, but the rear cultivators, and any seeders are very difficult to find
A few had hydraulic cylinders. Ran one as a kid with the mower shown in the video. Lever under the seat lifted the bar. Foot operated a tensioner so v belt pto drove the sickle bar. G parts like axle shafts were much more expensive than an 8N so we traded up to the Ford. G had a 4 speed trams with a really low creeper gear.
