OK, also what would be nice is a Green Glossary:

ROPS - rollover protection system - patented by Deere - Licensed to other manufacturers royalty free

Twin Touch - two side by side pedal controlled hydrostatic transmission

eHydro - electronically controlled transmission (Controls speed of reversal, anti-lugging for engine and cruise control)

ePowerReverser - electronically controlled transmission (Controls speed of reversal)

LoadMatch - lightning fast electronic control of transmission that keeps the engine from stalling by adjusting the transmission speed.

SpeedMatch - Controls the maximum rate of travel, especially for use in close quarters. Acts as a creeper gear.

iMatch - Quick hitch for 3 point.

QuickTach buckets - Allow easy no tools bucket changes. Deere proprietary. May also be set up qith skid steer system in some models.
