Here's a copy of the email I received from Bush Hog after I made an inquiry. I think it's gonna be a good machine but, as this email states, the trailhand 4x4 won't be available till next january. That eliminated it for me because I needed it now.

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your inquiry. We should have all of the information about the vehicle up on our web site now. If you need additional information, we'll be glad to help. The ride is incredibly smooth compared to the J.D. ( and all others!). The Detroit Gearless locker certainly makes us "one up" on competitors and the "on the fly" engagement of the front diff ( 4wd forward or reverse) really creates an automatic drive system. When engaged, the 4wd system locks and unlocks by itself without further input from the operator---takes decision making away from the operator. The TrailHunter ( small unit) will be in production mid Sept. and the larger TrailHand starts in January. By the way, what did you find objectionable about the new J.D. HPX4x4?
Best Regards,
Jack Harrington
