I was poking through the dealer lot today, and low and behold, an EF 3 in the rental row. It was an open cab and had some hours on it. Seeing it in person really makes the specs stick in your mind that this was designed as a spec buster with the high lift over and maximum loader lift possible! It wasn't smoothed over with plastic since I was sliding downhill on ice as I was looking and managed to find a handhold on the way by. The dealer's thoughts were evident as it was parked with the construction equipment rather than the lawn and compacts. Nice looking piece! SteveV
