Thanks Navasot for the reply. It's been sold. Should have gone ahead and bought it. It was, really, a no brainer at $1400 OBO. :hissyfit: I, just, wasn't sure the HST would hold up. Oh well, I'm back to considering a fairly clean Frontier RC1072 with chains for $700 or a really rough looking JD 613 with no chains for $500. The JD is close and the fella will deliver it and the Frontier is 2 hrs. away. Any advice?
