thanks MJPeterson,actually I've checked out this site for about a year now just never have posted anything,I traded up to my 1610d because it 's4wd whereas the 1510 wasn't,little more horsepower helps too plus it came with a fel.Yesterday we had a near blizzard[n.e. kansas]so the fel really came in handy today clearing my driveway ,with the 4wd I didn't have a lick of trouble doing it.I think a rear blade would work better so that's on my wish list.I'm not too computer savy but I'll try to shoot some pics of my tiller and send them in a later post.by the way everyone out there have a merry christmas!
