tgello, I absolutely love this 4610. I love everything about it. Solid, well built, turning radius is great, cab/dash design is well thought out, everything easy to service on it, plenty of power.....for my own needs, I wouldn't want one any bigger, but then again, you'll have to talk to some of the more experienced pros on here to get better comparison. My only experience is with an old Ford 8N many years ago and a Kubota L2350. I was hesitant about getting the Cab model and the HST but so glad i did. I can breathe and stay cool while working. Heck, last Sunday I plowed while listenting to the Nascar race on the radio. Maybe that's why my rows weren't too straight, not sure.
and yes, it's scenic here, but you pay for that with lack of tillable land (too much slope)
here's the view from where i plowed
