    Stinny's X575 is a class or two above your X500. The X4/500 tractors were renamed X700's in 2006 IIRC. They are indeed heirloom quality machines.

    My seat was all torn up, I had it redone for $50, looks better and more comfy now.

    Wow! That's a beast, nice!

    This works pretty good for moving wood, and anything else I need to move. :D

    Makes sense. My 500 mows the grass good but that's about it as far as "manual labor". That 575 is a keeper!

    You are able to keep a wallet belonging to this group? I thought I read in the fine print to just give up your wallet.
