I looked these over pretty good when they were new. My Honda dealer sold several in my area, but they were too expensive at the time. The 3 cyclinder diesel engine was the same one they used in their diesel generator, and was a proven engine! One thing i didn't like about the tractor, was it was built real low to the ground, and the dealer said it was designed that way for stability. They handled all cat.1 tools, just like todays compacts.
They seemed to hold up pretty well in my area, but they were just too expensive!
BTW, most of the other posters here were talking about Honda's 4 wheel steer cat. O lawn tractor they were selling at the same time.
