How do you like the M? They brought me one out to dimo and I had to pass. I learned how to run a blade 32 yrs ago and didn't feel like going through training again. But some that are young starting out say they like it a lot.

My understanding the new M series are all operated with 2 multifunction joysticks (no wheel no levers). Would def take some getting used to but I think I could manage after awhile.

dont laugh when i say this, but ive only ran a blade for about 6 years, but within 2 months of starting i was blue toppin walmart building pads, i was born to play in the dirt! i learned on on H, but i really enjoy the M, started on a 140m now on a 14m for the last 5 months! but IMO, the M's dont have the power the H's do! the joy sticks do take some gettin used to, but gettin in and out of tight place with a big machine is a piece of cake! i remember runnin the H's in a small area, and at the end of the day you feel exhausted, not on the M the view is nice, not really very much in your way of seeing any part of the blade, Over all it doesnt bother me, as long as im in a machine and in the dirt, AND its NOT a volvo blade!!

The visablity you can't ask for any better, loved that part. The steering and just all the little switchs for the molboard and sideshift it was like I was in a spaceship or playing a video game. But to each his own.

Where in central Texas are you.

I thought you were around Austin and couldn't tell if that was a TJL sticker or what. Is that what is left of the old T L James and then it was TJ Mckinny I think? They used to be a big outfit 25,30 years ago.
