Ethan, Hydro-
Don't forget the 129 was a best seller. I think it's one of the best mowing cubs period. An 8 year old can lift the deck with the manual lift and it must have appealed to women as well. I also agree about the use of hydraulics, especially at my age when it comes to most any other attachment. I use a 149 and a 1650 in my garden which covers the cutting, harrowing, and tilling and the hydraulics are a must.
Just another .02 worth.
