tres; smalltown way, way, south east of Boston, 6 - 12 inches of snow per drop , mostly 6 or so average. All my neighbors are going to Lawn tractors from lawn mowers (something i did in 1994), I just went from Garden Tractor to Compact tractor, so the 4100 looks Giant compared to them, but I need to get things done fast (mulch placement and moving, snow plowing, lawn cuttin', ..etc), so I went Big and <font color=green>Green</font color=green> The local mucl and rocls for landscaping dealer, just went <font color=orange><font color=orange></font color=orange>, so every so often i guess I will have to show the colors along with the other 3 JD owners in me development. We have probably 7 craftsman lawn tractors in the development, and the rest are lawn mowers (some are the big landscaper types).
