I'm shopping for a couple tractors for the mowing business. Just went to the Deere home page, 2009 line-up edition.

Impressive updates to the website to say the very least.

I was looking at their website last night, too. I'm wondering if I should consider a new 6430 before they have to add a DPF and catalytic converter to the engines. Really don't want to think about what the 6430 Premium with 4wd would cost. Probably will be checking with my dealer this week.

90 to 110 HP probably. Already have one 6430, so there's a strong possibility of adding a couple more. Will be used to pull 15' batwings. Plans are to put 10' mowers behind the 2 MF583's next season, freeing up two 15' batwings. All depends on outcome of bidding on a state highway ROW mowing contract.

It's a fact. Going to be required by 2011. They have a picture of one on the inside cover of JD's magazine the Furrow. I talked to my dealer today and he confirmed it.
