Well i have to be honest it does look pretty:laughing:. I have had it for only a month now and i only put 3 hours on it so i can't comment really on issues but as of now no issues. I think you can get a better deal on an ex3200 but i wanted the MMM so i paid the extra for the sx3100 with the mid pto. I also wanted something slightly lighter and smaller. I can't wait for the snow to really start flying as thats one a main reason for the purchase. I have contacted Yanmar with a few questions and making sure i was all set for any future warranty work i may need. Yanmar has been quick to respond to all questions. I would say if your happy with your sc2400 that speaks for itself. I know this isn't much help but just being honest with my dealings to date. I am very happy with the purchase i made. Good luck in your search!!
