The classification of Home Owner, Ocasional User and Commercial User gets kind of complicated in the Outdoor Power Equipment world.
Here is the way a German Engineer sees the world if you were talking about earth moving equipment.
A commercial unit is about equal to a D6H bull dozer.
An occasional user would be the the 4x4 Extend-a-Hoe fully enclosed cab backhoe with a 4:1 bucket.
An homeowner user would be a Bobcat Skid steer.
This mentality can be seen when yuou look at the UniMog being the "occasional farmers friend in the field".
A 85hp 4x4 Kubota or a 5100 series John Deer tractor is a "Homeowner model".
The FS 56 is an occasional use unit. That means it is not designed to run 8 hours a day, five days a week for 5 years like the FS 90 or the other "commercial" units.
