Excellent for Landscaping, can't get much better. Make sure you have a loader and you load your tires. An option you should invest in is a "Jiffy Hitch" system. This will allow you to hook and unhook to most implements in less than 10 seconds.

Failure's hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you're successful at the wrong thing the mix of praise, money and opportunity can lock you in forever.

If I was to be looking for another tractor I would seriously be looking at the kubota. Although, I did test the new Ventrac recently. With all the attachments, it would make an awesome landscaping tractor.
