Very nice, I’ve had mine for about 15 months now. Mine was about 21k out the door but no third function and I have the regular turfs. I’d say you got about the same deal as me. I really like how easy the loader and mower deck go off and on.

A WARNING. Don’t take the deck off and on with the loader on. The front draft arm springs up and gets caught by the loader stand and bends parts. Cost me something like $50 in parts. I did it a few times with no problem then wham, bent parts. On another forum I’ve read of it happening to several people. Good luck and enjoy.

I saw your post on that topic, so when I was taking off deck with loader on, I looked as my wife backed up and sure enough it hit. So I stopped her, pushed down spring and she backed out. If I didn't read your post, I most likely would of bent mine to. So thank you.

They need a warning about that. I couldn’t figure out what happened until I saw a post about it on another forum. Another tip, when installing or removing the deck, put the pto selector to the rear. The allows the mid pto the ability to to rotate and install easier.

The price you were quoted sounds more like a AP12F fork attachment. The lighter one is the AP10F. They have redesigned it and it gained a few pounds to 198 with 42" forks. Still the lightest one. It should cost between 6 and 7 hundred depending on the dealer. The new one would be harder to add a hitch reciever. It has a center bar. If you find one from last year it will be lighter and easier to add the reciever.

Got my Titan 42 forks in. I weighed them and it came up to 274lbs. So about 75lbs heavier then the Frontier ones. But I also got the receiver also and got it for $475.
