Coming down to the wire!

Great! Sounds like you're taking the right approach, and the time. You'll have the tractor for a long, long time, you don't want to make a hasty decision based the experience of one poor salesman. Good Luck.

Alrighty then, the contract has been signed, I'm 5 years in debt and the tractor was delivered today. I've got about 5 hours already on it w/o a hiccup, mowing thru the most heinous of undergrowth and even chopping up a nasty cottonmouth with the cutter. Its 90.1 degrees in the shade, I'm hot and thirsty, and instead of water, I've quenched my thirst with a 6pack of suds.

Any takers out there who'd might wanna guess what my final decision was?....

Tomorrow, I'll post a pic of it next to some goldenrod that exceeds the height of the tractor and freshly cut rows that I mowed.

I'm sure posting a pic of a liquified cottonmouth will draw attn from animal rights advocates, so I won't post those.

Here she is:
I wonder if I should've went for the 34 hp one, although this one cuts like a champ. I leave it in 4wd most of the time due to the hilliness and muddy bottoms. The hydro has made work into play, I actually can't wait to get off of work to go play on the tractor.
