13 and some change cash price a few months ago with a fel, mid mower deck/ including mid pto, loaded tiny rear r 14 tires. both JD and Kubota among others wanted to charge me over 400 bucks to load the tiny rears on a bx and 1 series. Plus was already looking at low to mid 20s for the price. Like I said in a different thread my wife and I saved money for quite a few yrs so I wouldn't be responsible for remodeling our current home and going into debt, guess what, I got volunteered to do it anyway after dealing with a few area contractors we both were not happy with there estimates, not really understanding what we wanted, or saw the completed future renovation as we did, and to a somewhat understandable lesser degree they wouldn't consider knocking anything off for work I could competently complete it on there time schedule. I apologize for the rant. Anyways back on topic one thing I don't like is how the tph is linked to the mm mower deck to raise and lower it meaning to do anything with a back blade for example I should definitely get good at removing the deck when I'm using ground engaging tph implements and putting the mower deck back on when I'm done I lower the tph attachment to engage the ground the mower deck also goes down which definitely isn't good for even a thicker gauge stamped deck problaby no mower decks. First but probably not the last time I've owned or even used a sub compact with a mmm. The top link is also to small I've got it extended as far as I dare it's lucky if there's 3 threads left on turnbuckle and it should still go out farther. I'll be replacing it with my larger manual screw top link off my l2850 after I replaced that one with a hydraulic top link awhile back Luckily I saved all the manuals hopefully I'll learn a few tricks to remove and install deck calmly and profecient.
still despite quirks and what I feel was lackluster initial commissioning of tractor definitely very pleased with it and truly enjoy using it on my hilly property up north. I said before on a different thread I wish I would have bought something like that a few yrs earlier.
