Finally got to use the new tractor for about 1.5 hours today. First impressions are good overall. The rotary cutter allowed me to mow a pasture that use to take 2-3 hours in just over an hour. Plenty of power, and the HST is SWEET.
The engine puts a lot of heat out on your feet and lower legs, which will be OK when it is cooler out, but when it is in the upper 80's or low 90's is a little anoying.
I will have to trim a number of trees, since this tractor is a lot taller than the lawn tractor I was using previously.
I'm looking forward to putting a couple hundred hours on the machine, and getting a true idea of its capabilities.
