Not sure of condition yet but it comes with a blower and deck. I haven't seen much regarding these. Is it that they were only made 3 years or not good or popular? Thanks. |

Yeah, I think that is the last in the line of the original Broadmoor family before they went to the 4000 series small lawn tractor. Those can have a tiller and such used with them whereas the 4000 series could not. A small tractor, but built better than alot of the new stuff today. I have a 1963 6hp Broadmoor for my son and it routinely pulls around a 500lb roller behind it. |

I guess it's from the Broadmoor family, it said Broadmoor on the back of it. |

What little I have seen of the 5010 looks alot like the Broadmoor. Without seeing much I would think the Broadmoor 728 and the 5010 would have alot in common, other than a 10hp(?) in the 5010. If you can find the manuals for both compare part numbers, maybe there is a good amount of interchangeability. |

For the record the Simplicity System 5010 with blower, snow blade, (chains and wheel weights) deck, and soft cover went for $350 at auction in central IL. I was out @ $300. Bought another Deutz-Allis 512H $90. Dead battery so not sure it ran but previous owner said it ran when they parked it years ago. |

I think you are doing the right thing sticking with a particular line. That way you learn the ends and outs or the models and you quickly learn what is interchangeable and what their strengths and weaknesses are. |

sadly I'm not even an "expert" with the little tractors but hopefully getting there. And these are much earlier than I have dealt with. |

It is hard to know anything without knowing condition but since you are into those little tractors I would think you would be as expert in value as just about anyone here. I would tend to under value any of the lawn tractors.
I would not read anything into Simplicity's propensity to change model numbers. |
