I just have to wonder if the Turf Tiger wouldn't hold up to tough conditions, such as lousy terrain and abusive operators, better than the Tiger Cat series. I wonder this because although my Tiger Cat II seems pretty resilient to the hell I've presented it thusfar, it's a new machine and eventually, fatigue HAS to become an issue. One answer is to just go slower. Sure, I'm already trying to do that, but what if it was built more stout, could I push it a little, and that's where the question of whether to go with the Cat or the Tiger comes into play. Can a Turf Tiger withstand abuse, whatever the cause, better than the Cat? Probably, I think.
