Dealers in MD and WV seem to have all gotten one 4600 (usually a low end 4608) since these came out this spring. Anyone out there own a 4600 yet who can say with experience how they perform on steep ground? Points of interest: 1) Do they have brakes that will hold the machine on a steep slope? 2) Can you climb a 40% grade without fuel starvation and 1/3 tank of fuel ? 3) Traction issues ? 4) Loader handling ? etc., etc.

Overall impression of the new Japanese products, especially compared to the 2600 series Brazilian units they essentially replace ?
