On a minor note, I was at my dealer's yesterday ordering a pesky headliner push pin that keeps falling off and I happened to remember the question I recently posed about whether the air intake pre-cleaner was still available for the 'D' or new 5610 unit. The parts guy managed to find it and it is listed for the 'D' unit. There wasn't any reference to the 5610 on way or the other, but I suspect that the new engine cowl would interfere with the pipe that has to be worked over to the side of the cab to go up to the roof.
I was glad to hear this, since having the intake up high works so much better than closer to the ground. I know that the 'D's have the engine off to the side now and I suppose the air is taken in from the side, but that is still going to be behind the mower and everything it's kicking up.
By the way, I had my dealer check with his Bobcat rep and they told him that production should start and the pricing should be available for the 5610 in about a week. He also said that the information on the 5610 should be available on the web site by then as well.
Now that the 3PT version is eminent, I'm having to go back and assess whether I want it, or get a 'D' and keep a small tractor for the 3PT hitch duties. There's something to be said for having two separate pieces of equipment. Of course, having only one unit also means just one machine to maintain.
