This marked a new paramount for the Bolens large frame.
This Big Tractor had teeth. A powerful 18 horsepower
cast iron twin cylinder Kohler K482 engine now
sits beneath the hood. Now you could push,
plow, pull and pulverize nearly any
obstacle.

Dual hydraulics allowed for power blade angling and
lifting from the driver seat. A huge new 60" center
mount mower deck was easily mowing the
most daunting landscapes ever seen
by non-commercial property
owners.

Only made for two years, the 1886 saw a total of 5
production runs. The 1886-01 thru 1886-04
were nearly all identical with only
minor modifycations from
time to time.

All still used the Eaton 12 hydrostat until the
1886S-05 which was fitted with the new
Sundstrand 15 hydro pump.
