Simplicity Legacy Tractor

I would compare the non-XL Legacy to the 400 series John Deere's. They are pretty similar in size and spec.

I have the brochure on the simplicity tractors.

Where do I find anything on a Non XL legacy?

Not sure what information you are looking for but this may help. Go to the Simplicity website and under manuals enter model 1692872. The operator's manual is for an older Legacy. New ones (XL) would be model 1694413 for example.

Apparently the XL replaced the LEGACY or Simplicity discontinued the plain LEGACY

I have the brochure I got from the Simplicity dealer last
summer and the only Legacy in there is the XL.
There hain't any other legacy models in there.

The Legacy XL replaced the Legacy...

I've had mine for 9 months (118hrs) and I love it. 60 inch deck, FEL, york rake and front snow plow. Absolutely no complaints at all.

Forgot to mention rear PTO and 3 point hitch and I only paid $11950.00 for it

Don't know much about past models of the Legacy, but I just took a good look at a brand new diesel 4x4 Legacy at a dealer over the holiday weekend. It had the loader, 3PT hitch, weight box, and 540 rear PTO. Looked real sturdy, well made, and had a price tag of around $14500.

I would say other than no ROPS this tractor is essentially more subcompact utility tractor than L&G tractor. And as an owner of both a Deere 455 L&G tractor (with 540 PTO and 3PT but no loader) and a 2520 compact tractor here is what I see as the two big differences. The Legacy has a joystick loader control which is indepenent from the 3PT lift control. The Deere 4x5's and I suspect the newest X700's do NOT have independent control. If I put a loader on my 455, I cannot use the 3PT at the same time as the loader. I have to install a lockout valve to switch between the two. Also the Simplicity salesman said you can put a backhoe on the Legacy. Not so for the 4X5's or X700's.

If I was to compare the Legacy to Deere models, I would say apples to apples is to the 2210 or current the 2305.

I would say other than no ROPS this tractor.

The ROPS is an extra cost option on the Simplicity Legacy xl Tractor.
*This would steer me away from a JD x series

I was specifically wondering about the Legacy (not the XL model) and how it compared to the other garden tractors out there.

I did not want to compare the XL as a SCUT to a Kubota or similar. Does it compare with a Deere 425?

Thanks

Dave, I cant help with the comparision, but I've had my Legacy since I bought it new in '99. I dont baby it and use it for a lot more than I should, it's tought as nails.

There's a few things I dont like about it, but they're really minor. If I had to buy one again, I'd have no problem getting another Legacy.
