Cliff, I bought the 13045 ($2,200). It used to be the Cub Cadet 1345. My Dad has the cub cadet version and it is awesome. I don't think you can go wrong with a Troy-Bilt. I wanted the 13045 as it has a 45 inch width and the trigger fingers to turn the unit. Does the 10530 have the triggers to turn each wheel independently?
