I was cutting the grass again today, and thought to myself, "this little tractor sure is running nice. And it's quiet!"

I think that's why I like the QLs. When they are running well, with a good muffler, enclosed engine and good iso mounts, and with all the tins solidly mounted, this little tractor runs smoothly and just makes a loud hum.

My 1650 is much less refined, as it has some hood rattles that I need to chase down, and despite new iso mounts on that one, too, the 16hp has noticeably more vibration than the 14. It's a beast, for sure, but it's overkill for most grass cutting duties.

I still love my WFs and will always be partial to my 108 that we bought in 1979 (and still use), but the QLs continue to grow on me.

What is your favorite QL and why?
