In these parts, If your property is obviously not a farm or ranch and you have a number of farming or ranching implements stored outside in full view you likely will get someone popping into your drive inquiring about pricing and credit

Seriously though, my place is a lawned homesite with another 8+ acres of hardwood and brush. My purpose in getting the 425 is to rehab and maintain the place and give me something to sink my teeth into during my retirement years (already here).
I am not in a big hurry and I have time on my hands. That is one reason why a smaller machine fits my overall needs.
I would like to keep my equipment tucked away because otherwise I would be adding to the outdoor clutter, leftover this and thats from countless projects completed, started and yet to be started.
One of the many things I like about the PTs is their design functionality screams ...work me!..not .. admire me and pamper me! I had a friend in my youth who despite our mutual interest (his more than mine though) in custom built muscle cars had this beat up old pick up that he loved and refused to part with. When asked why he would respond...because it is simple, throw some retreads on her and some junkyard parts every so often and paint her with a brush..she works!
Decades later I understand.
