Trigger has been pulled

[OverandOut]

Well folks I made my decision to get a LS XU6168CPS after going to dealership today and test driving it around there back lot. Tractor will be delivered this Saturday, dealership is closed but said he would have not problem bringing to my house which is an hr from dealership. I toured the service dept and am confident they could take care of any problem that may arise. They have been in business 49yrs and have been selling LS since 2010 and assured me they could get parts in a day.
Also purchased a Hardee MR1442 rear mount 14ft boom mower and Hardee 1172 rotary mower. After months of looking and researching, I'm glad its over. Told wife don't plan anything for Saturday...I'll be busy!

Welcome to the family! I’m sure you will be happy with it.

With the AG tires the way the factory mounts them up, it should be exactly 72” at the tread and that 6’ mower should be just perfect. It should also handle that boom mower nicely...just don’t yank on those joysticks while at full PTO speed. My ditch/bank flail mower is about 1200lbs and the hydraulics are enough to throw it around pretty hard.

Yours will be exactly one year newer than mine. I wonder if there have been any upgrades.

Do yourself a favor and install some nice 5&1/4 speakers. The factory 4 inchers were crap.

Not sure of upgrades as far as options, but yea speakers definitely need upgraded. I feel like I got a really good deal compared to the other brands I looked at over the past couple weeks, this tractor was $34,500+tax and has more options. That's $9,500 less than my second choice which was Kubota and New Holland was couple dollars less than Kubota in price.

What’s the intended use for the mower? It looks pretty sweet.

Sweet!
It has different front wheels than mine. Looks the same otherwise.

What痴 the intended use for the mower? It looks pretty sweet.

The mower is to mow around my pond, perimeter of my 4 acre yard, maintain roads and shooting lanes at hunting club and to limb about 1/2 mile of Road on my property. Used it about 3 hours today mower is a beast and I especially liked being in the A/C
