My wife was the same way when I told her I was buying the smaller SC2450.
When we moved I was going to sell and she said no way we need it.
Now I did sell it, she came out and watched it mount the trailer, funny and kind of sad.
When she sees the new Max 28 XL, she will be happy again and I won't be able to keep here off it.
After getting the first tractor and she drove it first for fun and then to move some stuff I couldn't keep her off it. Hoping she will like the new one.
Wife's are funny... period !
