Looks like a nice tractor and priced fair if it is what he says. That tractor will mow better, has a better engine, tighter turning radius, better drive line and is more ergonomicly correct then any series before it. They say the Hydro-Gears don't hold up as well as the Sunstrands but I never had a problem with any of mine yet so I'm not sure I would put the tiller on it. Good luck!
