I GOT IT !!!!! My 2910 arrived yesterday afternoon, and so far I've put over 7 hours on it last night and this afternoon. I was pulling up maple saplings that I cut off at about 4'. Some of them popped right out but the ones over 2" in diameter put up quite a struggle. I wrapped a log chain around them 2-3 times and ran the one end of the chain under the other end and up to the chain hooks. Sometimes all this would slide up the trunk and I would have to re-do it. Is there a better way to hook the chain up? Some of them I had to rock back and forth quite a bit to loosen the dirt. This is a wooded area with rich dark soil and is not compacted (at least it wasn't before I ran back and forth on it). Other than that I was very impressed with the tractor. I mowed about 2 acres of BIG weeds and last years corn stocks in preparation for the house construction, and quickly fell in love with the cruise control. I did do one thing that wasn't very smart, but by shear dumb luck I squeeked by. My house is about 12 miles from the property we just bought, so I had to buy a trailer to haul the tractor back and forth until we can get the barn up. What I didn't do was to measure the width of the 72" mid mount mower or measure the distance between the fenders on the trailer. The first time on the trailer I was greeted with a shreeking noise that sounded like the banshees from hell. My mower deck was scraping the fender. I got it squared away and carefully centered the tractor, and when I get it on, there is 1/4" on both sides of the deck to the fenders. That's just plain dumb luck, but I'll take it. It was all shiney, but now it looks like a tractor, with corn stalks, grass, and mud in all the nooks and crannies. But a funny thing happened, I didn't mind the cleanup at all. Now if I could just get that feeling to transfer over to my garage.
