I just bought a new D170 yesterday but would have rather had a more commercial quality piece of equipment. Since I was out of work for 2 and 1/2 years finances wouldn't afford me the luxury of one.
So my question is for those who have a D170, how is it? Does it do the job, will it hold up?
Thanks in advance for any help. Doug

In case anyone is interested in this model- its awesome. So far the best tractor/mower I've ever owned. No power steering but is steers like it has it. I drag a DR power vac behind which works better than ever. I would recommend this tractor to anyone.

Glad to hear you like it. How many HP does it have?

It's 26 Hp which seems fine. I just mowed the neighbors grass since their mower was down. The grass was 4 inches high with lots of leaves. There was no bogging at all mowing to 2 3/4. Great machine
