Where do you draw the line between a garden tractor and a compact utility tractor?

That's because you don't have an FEL and BH. Add some ground-breaking attachments and then it's a tractor. :smile:

But I do have a FEL.:wink:

Don't think there will be a simple enough answer to put it into a single paragraph... I think it IS what ever the manufacture wants to label it... and then let the users end up picking the correct place for it...?

I do know if you park a LT next to a LT next to a CUT all from the same or similar maker you will see some differences in design strengths & weight as you go up in the lines... :smile:KennyV

Kenny hope you have the time to follow this thread from the start sorry you missed it yesterday a bunch of us had a pretty spirited and fast paced discussion...:laughing:

So we never got a definite division between lawn mower and CUT. Sounds like what ever a person wants to interpetet as.:confused2: Yes I know that my Massey is a CUT but i bought it to mow lawn mainly and got the FEL to move snow in the winter. Everyone around here just thinks its a big lawn mower. I live in a farming community and not to many people have CUTs. The Massey just looks like a lawn mower compared to all the big tractors around.:biggrin:
If the wife asks, thats my story and I'm sticking to it.:laughing:

When I originally started the thread I expected to get many differing viewpoints but nowhere near as many as were offered...which is why I enjoyed it so much...one guy on TBN said if you asked 30 people to define what a CUT was you would get 28 different answers...:laughing:

So can we be friends even though my Massey is bigger then your JD.:laughing:
To tell you the truth, I am a JD man myself,:thumbsup: grew up with them all my life, just could not see paying $5000 more for the green paint. Maybe I will post some of my implements and you will see that they are green. I hope the green and red will go together.:laughing:

I am corrected, yours is bigger, but is it a CUT then?:laughing:

If my JD is NOT a CUT, that salesman is in big trouble. Yes we can be friends even though my JD is bigger than your Massey. Sent from mobile.
