Completely agreed on the hst being preferred. But the location of the shifter was a saving grace if you could say and I can get used to it, maybe even smooth with it. Came down to asking myself "you know how to shift right? So what's the problem?"

The lady with the tractor package came down a little bit right at first. Everything was in great shape so I picked it up. Now looking forward to playing with it if I could ever get some time.
The guy with the newer hst "same hours" didn't come down and wouldn't deliver. Went with the package deal for $500 less than the tractor/loader option.
