New X739 en route....

Think your dealer has no clue about the AWS and blowing snow... the rear wheels follow the blower path around a bend.
And traction is much better with the AWS..

Thanks for the thoughts on AWS. It's a lock for me now.

On the trailer, it's a toyhauler and can vary a lot in weight depending on whether there is anything in the garage or not. I've scaled it at 17k+ with the garage empty and close to 20k with the water tanks full and the garage loaded... Definitely diesel territory.

I have the HDAP on my X720SE and they will tear up the turf when soft(after a rain) slowing down helps to reduce the damage.

The tires are not the problem, let the ground dry a bit before mowing. The x739 with the hydraulic driven front axle is a huge improvement to reduce front tire scuffing in high speed turns.

I think you will like the x739 with 4x4ws. I have an x749 which is similar with the diesel and an x758 with two wheel steer that I have used side by side. From my use the x749 is much more maneuverable and is much better on steep slopes. The x758 is going back home this weekend.

On the F450, they make a nice towing rig. I have two F550 4x4 with the 4.88 ratio and tow my equipment in the mountains without problems.
