I have ordered a 1026r with front end loader, mower, and rear blade. Have waited 6 weeks for factory to get fel done. Expect to get next week. Can't wait. Our 5.5 acres of woods and pond aint seen nothing yet.
Just got word today. 1026R with fel, belly mower, and rear blade will be delivered tomorrow at 5:30 PM. Woohoo. I am trading in a 1400 hour JD 420 with Onan motor, belly mower, and hydraulic front blade. It has been the best oversized garden tractor I have ever owned. It has my ultimate respect so for those of you looking for an old, tough son of a gun, this is your baby. Just sayin'.
