I pondered long and hard trying to decide between the F3080 and the F3680. Owning a F2680 that never lacked in power in any situation I couldn't see the need for the F3680 over the F3080. For my home hillside mowing I bought the F3080.I have watched and used one for a few days ... but at $28K for a F3680 in Oz I can only watch :laughing:
Contractors use the F series (and outfront Toros) and turn them over at about 2000hrs, they end up on farms and live forever and ever
Going up one of my steepest hills it got near the top and wouldn't go on up. I was about to get sick since the deal was done and the mower was mine. I finally looked down and I had it in high gear. I put it in low gear and it pulled with ease and I've never seen a need for more power and I mow steep areas and I've mown high grass and small trees with my F3080.
I have no idea why anyone would buy the 36HP other than insecurity that requires them to have to have the "biggest" one. Or maybe the Implements that can be added may require more HP.
See, my $14500 or there abouts price or trade option is a GREAT deal!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup: And under 100 hours on it and never parked outside and never a drop of rain on it.
