I thought it appropriate to let you all know what a fine machine Deere makes. Pride swallowed here, my neighbor just hooked up my rental tiller to his AWS Deere, and tilled my garden up as if it was grrraaaavy. The little Kubota BX1500 was sad because it got fired after not being able to do the job. I mean the orange tractor just crept along trying desperately to loosen things up, I mean what the heck can 10 pto Hp compare to this monster of a garden tractor. It was fun to watch. I would till the garden for HOURS with a troy built, and this Deere did the whole thing, deep, and without a hitch. It is making me want one bad but I am afraid of the price tag. Well sorry to say, I have an Orange machine delivered for a demo tomorrow which hopefully should have real-world, big-boy power. But that Deere sure looked comfy, and had no problem with traction or anything. The tilt wheel is cool too. I should have looked at the model number but I didn't.
