Hey, I am trying to be funny.
You "boo, hiss" the villain in one of those old silent movies.

I understood your intent fully. One of the bad things about the Inet, is not having inflection to help one out. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I hope they get a ROPS for your model too.
I think I need to clarify my previous post about the ROPS. Understanding there are situations that can get you in trouble on flat land just as fast as hilly terrain, I didn't come off the money for the ROPS until after putting my 2000 on a trailer a couple of times. So I just wanted to clarify that I think if you can get one, do so. I know you can't right now, but wanting one is a smart thing..even if the land is flat. The other thing that I'm glad I got it is the over-run clutch. I started out thinking I could judge when to stop,,,,only took mowing down one of my freshly planted walnut trees to figure out I needed the clutch...I didn't want to learn this lesson the hard way on the ROPS.
