I'm not really in the market for one at the moment, I didnt realize they could actually be gotten here in the US. I was mostly just wondering if they are used here. I JUST bought my first real (real to Me anyway) yard tractor and it got me to remembering the rugged conditions of farming in S Korea and how they were like a staple machine everywhere. They really seemed to used WAY past their limits. I figured they must be pretty tough machines. I didnt even know they were called "walking" tractors. but thank you so much for your input its been an eye opener and food for thought.
