Jon,
You should consider filling in your location. I have an x749 and like it very well but I am curious why you chose to switch?
Gator6x4 said:I to am curious. A 748SE with a 60 inch 7 Iron deck lists for $14,529.00. A 1026R which for all purposes is the same size as a 748 but has more features with a 60 inch 7 Iron deck lists for $15,197.00. For the money difference I think I would purchase a 1026R. I think I would spend the extra $668.00 and be a much happier camper. Just thinking of all the three point attachments for yard maintenance makes the 1026R really shine IMO.
And the loader. Can you even get a loader on x700 series?
