Thanks all! I really appreciate the input. I looked for a Yanmar dealer and there is one about an hour from me which is no big deal. The problem is I really don't see a comparable model to the 2502 in my price range.
I do have 3 Kubota dealers in about a 40-mile radius. I do wish that they were open on a Saturday morning. I am going to build out what I want online and see if I can get some information and schedule an appointment late in the day M-F.
[SIZE=3]Tractorable[/SIZE], I was not aware of those remotes. I remember having to constantly get off for adjustment especially since I rolled my ankle 300 yards from the house doing that and had to crawl back up to get home. 4 weeks in a walking boot! that was at age 36. I can't do that at 55!!!!
