Was torn between the X729 (4-wheel steer) but most of my use is in straight line so not important.

I got it for snow removal with the 47" 2-stage blower, very little grass to mow. I can't take using the Ariens 13hp 36in walk behind anymore. Although a great snow blower its hard on the body to wrestle it in heavy snow. I have about a 100 ft of drive that border along the street so plowed in snow is a big problem to move.

Dealer assured me it was the perfect machine for my use. I have two large drives to clear that cover about 2000+ sq ft. and lots of pushed in snow from the grader they clean the roads here. We get over 200in snow on average. I was paying $200 a month Dec-Mar to have them plowed and he would only plow once a day. He quit plowing for $$ this year, says his 4 yo Ford is a pos from plowing.

Great move.
Will be looking for some pics of the X728 in action (now are you praying for snow? :D)

I just talked with the dealer, should be in my shop by tonight. We already had a 1 ft of snow last week.

I was just looking. the bill says "Special Edition". Do not know what makes it a special edition? Was not even aware of that..

the extra 5% added to the bill makes it the special edition. lol

Looks like it has a brush guard and some other goodies.

I printed out both the X728 and X728SE and compared them. I was not even aware I bought a SE. Not that is matters, was the only X728 the dealer had left.

That's a beautiful machine! I just put the curtis
soft side cab on my X585 (old version of the X728) and
I am ready for snow to come. We could get it any time now,
I envy that new 4wd system, mine is the old mechanical
4wd, and you have the new hydraulic drive/full time 4wheel
drive, which is sweet!
congrats on the new ride!

:D

If it's not too late try to switch to the 54" blower, you will be much happier.
