Man, you sure you don't have green blood? :biggrin: I have never known anybody to have that much brand loyalty...good for you !!!
I have either been loyal or stupid myself, not alot of brands to choose from at my place. NOT so loyal that I would buy one of their string trimmers though.

I have a JS45 push mower, L130 mower, X749 mower, 820 canopy tractor, 4520 cab tractor and a 110tlb with cab. Bunch of Deere and Frontier attachments too.
Will add a front quick hitch, 60"broom, 54" hydraulic blade, 647 tiller and 48" custom landplane this year to the X749. So far this little mower has been a great help for me in the tight quarters I have to work.
