Thank you for doing that. I am still learning on this picture thing. I realize only one view (these pictures were not taken by me, but by my dealer) but what do you think?? So far I have been very happy with this machine. There are some visible and invisible modifications that have really helped performance. I have already winched out a pretty big tree that had died with the winch, and it pulls my heavy utility trailer around easily. (Don't tell John Deere--it is a good bit heavier than their recommended towing limit). Yes, the compact series can now be bought on line. This is good, but those machines really are meant to toodle around and do very light work. I will be using mine to plow the road in front of the homestead and doing some heavier utility type work, so I need the larger machine, which is only dealer sold--at least at this time.
