I like the XT3's but they are still too pricey for me yet. Maybe someday I will find one.
Sergeant will probably chime in on this I hope but I think the XT3 is gone for good. I believe Black & Decker/Cub Cadet or whoever they are now threw in the towel and will stick to making belt drive box store equipment. These guys just don't stand behind their equipment and they are trying to get into the commercial zero turn business making a $23k+ machine(their top machine). Who in their right mind would buy something like this only to have zero parts or support in 5 years.........
