locogato11283 Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I didn't buy it. (yet) I may do so though.... I wil have to see if i can snag one for a day or two.... I was a fan of twin stick, untill I fired up the joystick..... Words cannot explain the functionality of it. im sure if you are serious about buying one theyll let you take one home to try out. any reasonable dealership would i think. maybe i need to try out this joystick deal sometime, sounds pretty sweet.

You'd never have to mow ever again once you lay down a nice layer of that. Well, that and Round Up.

sredish Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 joystick huh??? I'd like to try that. one had for the joystick and the other hand for the beer. That'd be nice. I can reach down for my beer in a straight line, but I need both to turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it gets much too rough to be drinkin and ridin at the same time....... But I find the joystick, after you gt used to it, to be fantastic. it's wicked touchy at first, but after you relax, it's is sweet...... One hand action!!!!

nater006 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) Big fan of the dual-lever deals.. my dad got a 0-turning radius Toro things -- one of the Timecutter series I think. We have a hella large yard out in the country so it was a good investment. Now he got one of those Kubota sub-compact tractors. I think its a BX23. I remember its 23HP, has a 3-cylinder diesel, hydrostatic 4WD, etc. Its one helluva toy! Kubota's design flipped the engine 180 in it so the flywheel is in the front and the radiator/etc sits between the driver and the engine (draws air from the driver towards the front of the tractor) -- apparently it gave more space underneath, not having the flywheel there, so you can fit a wicked large mowing deck underneath. Got numerous full-sized tractors too, and a couple large bush hog mowers for orchard grass and brush cutting... but that Toro with the levers is still a trip to drive Edited May 18, 2004 by nater006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
