Thank you for your kinds words. I am proud to include it in my collection. It is a lot more massive than my 48" zero turn and I read how they engineered the drivetrain to not allow the tires to make divet marks in the yard. The steering wheel is interesting to have. As I was backing it off of the trailer, I kept reaching for something that wasn't there with my left hand. Old habits die hard, I guess. Now I just need a trailer big enough to haul it, as the one I brought it home on was borrowed. The one I have is 74" between fender wells and the deck measures 73.5". I know that I have a lot to figure out on it, but I'm counting on the guidance of some good friends on here I can count on for a smooth transition to a diesel.

I can now hold my beer with one hand and mow with the other!!!
You're right. It will make mowing a lot easier, especially when I get an itch, with a steering wheel rather than the arm levers. I'm stoked about the 32 hp diesel that is running on it. Seems to have plenty of power and a top speed of 10 mph. Hoping to also cut my time mowing down going from a 48" deck or 50" deck to a 72" deck. Can't say that I enjoy mowing as much as I do moving snow, so the less time I have to do it, the better life will be!
