Re: Bobcat CT120 vs Deere 2305
Not to throw a monkey wrench in the works, but have you considered adding a Yanmar/Cub Cadet SC2400 to the comparison?
I compared it to the 2305 and chose the Yanmar. Why? Because it's made by Yanmar (the same folks that used to make the JDs before they outsourced to who-knows-where). The only part of this thing that appears to be made by CC is the MMM, which is actually quite impressive in both quality and performance.
I've got only about 25 hours on the tractor so far, but am very impressed with its ability and the way it's put together overall. Actually, the only complaint I have so far is the lack of a toolbox.
I paid about $13,500 for the tractor, 60" MMM, and FEL.
