Got home from my tractor run today and the neighbor rolls up in the yard with this.[:0]And I thought I did good on a haul.B)

I've been working on him for a couple of years showing off what my HB212 would do against his Troy-Built MYD. It kind of ticked him off a little over the years. I have had him looking for awhile when his up and puked the tranny while I was gone.[:0]Boy he was:(! But he's all :D:Dnow. 23HP Kohler,50"deck,and power steering and diff. lock on his new Prestige. Now all I got to do is convince the wife how nice a new Legacy would be. Maybe I'd stop bringing home loads like I did today....NAAA What fun would that be? At least it ain't Green!

Ray I have to agree with Justin on this one. The Prestige and Legacey are great mowers but for pure enjoyment and versitility give me a FDT every time.

I know that you can use a FDT for alot of different things I have a couple of them my self. I also own a Prestige and it will out mow any FDT that I own and with this rear lift kit installed http://simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=39603 it will also till and run a revitalizer just like a FDT. It will even run a snowblower, front blade, so I would say that its pretty versatile. I have to admit that I like the looks of my B 10 but i also like the full presurized Kohler command in the prestige.

OK! I confess! I do have a Sovreign 17GTH with hydro-lift and can plow/till/push snow etc. with it. But usually Eva mows with it and I pull out the 3012 or B-10 for all the other chores. Nostalgia I guess. That and the neighbors faces when they say "that little thing can really do that?". I have the advantage of trying out all the neat new Simplicitys at the shop and admit they are great. I really like the new Citation zero turn. Still wouldn't trade my old FDTs for any of them. That's just me though, and Eva always said I was a couple of bricks shy!

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
