This is exactly the kind of thing that just irritates me to no end.... people buying SGT's just to own one with no use for one. It's like buying a Farmall C with a 72" Woods deck and using it for a lawn mower, then saying it's too big. Duh. If you don't have use for a 60" deck, you don't intend to use it with 3pt (which neither tractor has), then what do you need a SGT for??

Comfort. For me the 2185 feels crowded which why I set out to find a slightly more roomy machine. The deck on the 2185 does an amazing job on my lawn and I've rebuilt it top to bottom to make sure continues to do so.

For my yard, 95% is rolling to flat and a large deck is perfect, it's that 5% up front that even the 48" inch is too wide if you miss your approach and departure angles. So a comfy chassis plus the rights sized deck = mowing machine with a purpose.

As for need VS want.. I don't "need" to have my old Massey Ferguson at the house either, but there it is. These thing give me something to do.
