[AT] NorTrack tractors

[Dick Day]

My son is looking at the 35hp Nortrack from Northern Tools.

Besides having a "parts-only" warranty and no source for local service (he 
knows very little about cars/trucks/tractors) are there any other compelling 
reasons to look at other brands?  I remember a few years ago, there was a 
discussion about the tractors from Northern Tools and I don't remember 
reading many good things.

They have a 2-stage clutch. Can someone tell me how that is different than 
the clutch on my Boomer?

Thanks
