I don't own one, but from everything I've heard and read, I'd say that the NH line is probably one of the biggest sleepers in the L&G arena. Very competitive spec-wise to other makes (JD, Simp, Cub,...), but not as well known. Although basically a Toro 5xi(?) series, for some reason, dealers, at least in my neck of the woods, don't seem too interested in promoting, let alone selling, them. Not sure how they match up price-wise against the Toro.
