Good thing it isn't up here in Maine. Woodsy would be out rubbing it and I would be sniffing the tires.

Sweeeeeeet. You'll like those tall front tires when you are whipping across a rough pasture. They should help immensly.

I got a 7 foot brush cutter. a power angle back blade, and palette forks. Got the direct drive model because it is so steep here I was concerned about a hydrostatic transmission running away on the hills. The dealer gave me a good deal. I used it all afternoon yesterday. Need to weld some hooks on the bucket.

I'm not a fan of hydro drives as well, especially during really cold winters. They are so sluggish and require warm up time.
