Quick question...Any reason to get a front PTO kit for a SCUT in a location that sees little to no snow and where I have no need for a sweeper? The reason I'm asking is that as the older my SCUT gets the more I see the cost of the parts rise. Right now I'm looking at a 30-50% premium being charged by JD just because of the age of my SCUT. The wife and I talked so I'm trying to buy everything I think I might need for my 2305 now since the price has been steadily rising due to the model being replaced. I will keep the 2305 as a second tractor even when we buy our big property and a new tractor (dreaming right now). We don't have more than a few days of snow where I live so I have no need for a front blower (I know lots of they are hydraulic) and I also have no need for a sweeper. Is there anything else I might really need a front PTO for? I personally don't see a need for a front PTO on my SCUT but I'm scared I might be missing something. I just can't think of anything that I wouldn't be running off my rear PTO since we don't get any snow here that would work better on a front PTO. Right now, I don't see any reason to buy the PTO extension kit before it goes up in price more or gets discontinued.
Am I correct or am I missing something? I grew up a city boy and my wife is a city girl but my heart is redneck as can be so bear with me. I know enough to know there are people out there that will always know more than me. Any opinions would be much appreciated.
Thanks...
