Murf:

What is involved in setting up the FEL to have a snowblade like the one in your picture? Is it then easy to switch between the FEL bucket, the snowblade, the forks/C class hitch, etc? Do you know if something similar could be done on a Kubota LA402 or LA403 FEL?

I have a stop at the JD and NH dealers today, then I will make my final decision. I guess I am a bit skeptical about Cub Cadet tractors. The 6284 looks like an overgrown lawn mower, but when I looked more closely, it seems to be have heavy duty axles. And it does have nice features.

I agree the tires are not the best and overinflating them hurts the traction, but the issue is more systemic. The tractor is too light in the rear end, and when you do get traction (e.g., by adding a rear weight rack, tire chains for snow plowing, etc.) you find out quickly that the lugs and wheels are not robust enough to handle it (I have had to replace my driver's side right rear wheel).

It is a nice lawn mower for relatively flat, smooth lawns, but I would not recommend it for anyone with more than 2 acres, hilly lawn, rougher areas to mow, snow removal or a desire to use the trailer.
