Getting ever closer to signing papers to get one.If you're thinking of adding a hydraulic top link, to the TX25 it's not quite a simple bolt on. I will do a write up on this. Minor tractor deconstruction is required. I have added a safety knob on the 3 point hydraulics to keep others from inadvertently adjusting my settings.
What's the out the door price on the tractor you are buying?Getting ever closer to signing papers to get one.
It appears the hydraulic top link is an accessory that I would really like to have. Is there a thread on the installation? I did a quick search and didn't find it. I have put off buying for the last few years as I am still away from home but it is time. I currently have a subcompact tractor but really wanting the size of the Summit. Also noted was the availability in Central Illinois through a couple dealers.
Any new opinions of them now that they have been out for a few years?

Nice......I bought my first compact tractor back in 1979 when I started building my house. It was a 17HP Kubota B7100HST with FEL and backhoe (not shown).

Initially, I used it to dig the foundation footings for the house in the background. Over the next 20 years, I used it to do other large projects like septic systems, road grading, snow plowing, landscaping & mowing. Not as fast as a larger machine, but given time, it's truly amazing what these little tractors can do.
I did see that. I am not familiar with the company but that really doesn't mean anything. There is actually a small dealer even closer to my house. Not a TSC type store but more like a small tractor dealer. Just my opinion but I think the prices advertised on the Summit website are reasonable to me. Tractors will never be as cheap as they used to be. That said, the tractors we are buying new today are more complicated but also more capable in comparable sizes. The OEMs all seemed to go through a build it cheap phase years ago in the tractors. Today it seems like they are actually building with a much more quality and user friendly focus. Times change and a good manufacturer changes also to keep up. They ain't cheap no more but "reasonable". I can easily imagine one of these lasting several generations just like the tractors of my youth with adequate maintenance. Also a lot nicer to operate with or without a cab.There is a Farm and Home Supply store in Quincy Illinois that is selling Summit tractors. They look decent and the price is OK. It’s hard to tell on prices these days since I bought my JD pre Covid.
