</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Thanks for the info, a nearby Cub dealer has one as a trade in. A friend of mine is looking for a compact to use as a mower only. His place is mostly flat and open and this used one has turfs and a belly mower, sounds like just the ticket for his needs as he didn't want anything bigger than 25 hp.

Maybe he might want to look at the 5000 series from Cub?
Its a sub-compact with a 3 pt as well, can handle the straight mowing and meets the HP he was looking for....
