1. But it is a sub-cut... it has 4WD, a Cat 1 3PT, rear 540 PTO and can take a back hoe quite similar to your BX. Check the attachments available on the page below.
2. To see the Daihatsu engine availability, check the product specifications/list prices by model link on this page:
Simplicity Site -- Legacy Page
3.It's quite comparable to the BX series, it just has a smaller turning radius and mows better... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
=========================
1*Just because it has these features / options don't make it a sub compact.
In their literature they call the Legacy XL Simplicity's best garden tractor.
Simplicity classifies it as a garden tractor so that is good enough for me.
2*I stand corrected the diesel is a briggs/Daihatsu. I was thinking of the Kawasaki when I made the comment. Sorry-my bad.
3*If this is so why doesn't Simplicity classify it as a sub compact and call it that?

1*That's not surprising most all lawn tractors and garden tractors have a smaller turning radius than the Sub-cuts and compacts.
2*There is no hint in any of the brochures and literature I have of a Daihatsu motor being available in the Simplicity. )</font>

Maybe they just don't want to "play the game" of what's a CUT, a sub-CUT, a mini-CUT, or a maxi-CUT, or whatever...
Their target market is someone moving up from a garden tractor, not down from an Ag tractor....

<font color="blue"> 1*dug a pit about four feet down.
Ended up popping out six old stumps in total today.
dug all around a stump about 18" in diameter with the XL.
2*Some may call it a garden tractor </font> ,
****************
1*Did you do all of this with the FEL?
2* Simplicity does.
Did you get a Back Hoe for it?
<font color="purple">Why did you chose it over a Kubota , JD, or Massy Subcompact? </font>

What bothers me about this picture is using a FEL without a ROPS.
Especially when using a FEL is one of the easiest ways to flip a tractor.

<font color="black"> I'd say they know it doesn't truly compare with a Subcompact so they're not going to call it one and get caught up in a misleading advertising claim.

<font color="#666666"> Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking Snapper or Simplicity as they make some of the finest lawn tractors and garden tractors on the market.
I would love to have one of them but not for Sub compact or Compact tractor work. </font>

So, what does a sub-cut have that it doesn't -- except for a ROPS and a mediocre mowing deck?
Check the specs, check the weight, check the options and attachments, then tell me what a Kubota sub-cut has that it doesn't...

I guess I need an education. Exactly what does subcompact mean? I looked at the BX2200, MF GC2200, NH TZ18 and the JD x595. For the life of me, I can't see that one does any more or less than the others, unless I'm missing something. Matter of personal preference. If only a matter of semantics, why argue over it? In the scheme of things, it doesn't mean a hill of beans.
LBrown59, you seem to be pretty loyal to Kubota, which is fine. Just not sure why you are making the arguments about the Legacy XL. I haven't even received mine yet, and here I am in the middle of a conversation about it .
