Greetings,
I am new to the site and glad I found you. I have eleven acres of rolling hills and 600 plus feet of lakefront. Knowing nothing about tractors you have been a great school. So far the only one to bring out a test drive tractor has been my local Bobcat dealer. The sales rep has been very helpful, whereas the reps from other big makes said it was not worth their time to bring a tractor out for a test drive. There are no Kioti dealers in SW Michigan.
I did note that the CT120 stalled out when turning with the rear mower going. The rep suggested the CT122 with a little higher horsepower. Does anyone have pricing on the new Bobcat CT line? With the terrain should I consider a 225 or bigger, or is the 120 really enough? Or should I consider another make?
I did learn I should go with a FEL and some type of rear end mower, i.e. rough cut, finishing, or brush mower. Suggestions for versatility?
I must comment that I was disappointed with quite a number of responses I received from the dealers - my purchase was considered not large enough to warrant spending much time on. In addition, I was surprised that I could not find, nor would anyone provide me invoice prices, or any kind of written pricing guide. The Bobcat is currently offering a $1000 rebate but with no invoice price, I cannot even tell if they are really including the rebate in the price they quoted me.
Any suggestions, tips, comments would be greatly appreciated.
