I was uncomfortable with the sales person at Messicks (not Neil, Neil is great). So I canceled. I was ready to wait till spring but I called my local dealer one more time who is not known for negociating much (MB Tractor in NH). Well they did, with the money I saved on delivery because he is only 20 minutes away it turned out cheaper (and minimal wear and tear on my Jeep not to mention gas).
It's a snug fit in the antique boat house. I'll build a nice concrete ramp soon. I didn't have much time to play (I mean work) with it yet.
Oh, MB Tractor talked me into Turf tires. He said R4's are really bad on ice/hard packed snow. I had seen other threads here saying Turfs are best in snow too. And you have the option of chains too. Some folks think Turfs do better on sand too which I have a lot of. Bottom line is either tire would probably work and weight is the bigger difference.
