Currently have a Kubota B7100 with about 1700 hours. The mower deck has developed stress cracks that I have repaired with welds but really need to replace the whole mower or at least a new shell. My dilema is spending about $2500.00 for a new mower vs about $1500.00 for a new shell or just replace the tractor and mower. I'm leaning towards a new tractor and mower but not sure what models I should be looking at. I have narrowed my brands to Kubota, John Deere and New Holland as they each have a dealer within 20 miles of me.
What current models of Kubota, JD or NH would be comparable in performance as the B7100? I'm sure that since my B7100 is approx 20 yrs old most all will have more features but overall I don't want to buy one that will produce less performance.
Thanks.
