Agreed! Without more info or specs on the machines, it looks to be mostly cosmetic at best. New hood, no more white color (booo!!), and a sensor that transmits hours to your phone because that's really all it is, there is no "on board computer" telling your phone oil change intervals, air filter changes, etc. Now when it can tell me how many gallons of fuel I have left, lets me remote start in the winter, tells me my acre/hour rate, etc, then I'll be impressed . Otherwise, it's a new design, new color scheme, and a fancy frame coating; that's about it. Gimmicks to sell machines.
