Neither model is primarily a lawn tractor. Both can handle mowing with appropriate mower attachments, but they're designed for broader property maintenance tasks including loader work, tilling, and implement use.
Both models can be equipped with front loaders if compatible. Verify loader availability and lift capacity specs with your local dealer, as configurations vary.
Warranty terms vary by dealer, region, and purchase date. We recommend confirming current warranty coverage directly with your dealer before making a purchase decision.
