Almost forgot.
I've had some experience with the nonpowered lifts and the hydraulic lifts on the 1250 to 1650 series. The nonpowered lift for rear implements is a pain. I don't know what your plans are for this 127. If your plans involve using it for something like a rear blade, you might want to keep looking for a model that has hydraulic lift unless you are getting this one really cheap and can put up with the manual lift.
