Re: Hello from New York
I hope you make the choice to wait for the JD850 b/c it's by far & away the best bang for your buck for its shear size & power that no other model kit today can compete with. Be sure to request the vertical swing drive from Frank (I don't think it's listed as an option, but a far better choice for precise control without issues). And also the 516:1 ratio Como motors for the tracks... might cost a bit extra, but it's worth the hassle free enhanced performance.
My JD850 has been in service 4yrs this month, it has dug well over 15cy of hard ground & another 50 - 60cy loose soil with very little downtime.
