Our county fair is going on. The Cadet dealer has 2 of the new 3200 Yanmar powered units on display. One with FEL and R4 tires is priced at a fair special of 16200, a bare tractor with turfs at 15000.
The JD rep came by while I working in the booth next to the Cadet display. I know the guy, so ambled over to ask him what he thought. He felt it was interesting that Yanmar engines are in both, and thought the 3200 Cadet was similar to his 790 if you put an hst in the 790. He felt the basic frame was the same on them both.
The hst is dual pedals, the throttle is a long lever next to the cowl, the PTO controls are almost where you cold operate them with your left foot. The fenders are stamped steel, not glass or plastic. Overall size seems to be about 7/8 of my DX29. They had one hooked up to a 6 foot bush hog, including the PTO. I don't know that it would run that big a mower, but would be impressed if it could.
