VERY FUNNY! They DO offer samples! I would be looking at the FOB Shanghai closely. The price does not include shipping from China. Past that, what tractors does it fit?
If I had lots of $$ I would probably have bought a more powerful tractor and gone with a rear PTO setup. Front is nice but if you had lots of HP and power steering I think the rear setups are fast to put on and off and seem to have few parts to break.
As to FRANKENBLOWER...looks like we have another 8" to 10" on the way...though the forecast is still a bit mixed. The wife is pitching a sequel. It might happen...
