I got her from Holmes Rental in Millersburg.
They had no 424s in stock...they have 6 324s on the lot now,but I decided on a BX25D KUBOTA seems like a nice rig fordoing some landscaping etc. The 324 was over 4000.00 more then the BX25D that helped in making the choice I did! Good Luck with yours I had a test drive in one and they are a really nice tractor.She's actually the first one in he province...three on back order, and all sold. But for now she's unique.
Cheers

I stopped by my Yanmar dealer, Knightdale Tractor, today to order a front tire for my Sc2400 and while there I checked out the new models. Nelson from WR Long was there taking some measurements for some new attachments/accessories for the new models.
My first impressions on the 324 was that it's a bit bigger than the Sc2400. It looked about the same size as the SX3100. With having the cylinders on top of the loader arms it will be easier to convert it to a skid steer type quick attach option. It has a step on the left side which seems nice. The seat is quite nice but I did notice that each time I lifted the seat up the rubber pieces that fit in the springs under the seat would stick to the bottom of the seat. So I could see these rubber pieces getting lost at some point.
Another thing I noticed is that when I sat in the seat and put some pressure on the right side handle bar, it had to much give for me. I thought the fender was going to break if I pushed on it to hard. Compared to the Sc2400/2450 it wasn't as stable/sturdy feeling.
Here's some pictures of the 324

nice writeup and pics. Will be interesting to see how the new line performs and is received by the public.
I don't mind plastic fenders, but they should be properly supported...?! probably another way to cut costs....
Think I'll stick with my yellow and black for awhile....:thumbsup:

Trying to locate a 424 in SoCal.
Hoping it is a 2450 on steroids, which by the way is a great tractor.
Need to sell the 2450 w/ less than 200 hours.
Can't seems to find a dealer on area that has the 424 in stock, why, too new, I thought they were suppose to be here by now.

Oh yeah, its a good size larger. I dug through my pics, here it is sitting next to a Sx3100, an LX just beside that. You can see the 424 sits a little higher than the 3100. I wish I could have brought it home with me.
