I just went to the John Deere dealer to talk about tractors and stuff. As an aside, I must say they really like their tractors - don't think they should be discounted much.
I need a tractor to bush hog about 50 acres of abandoned pasture in hilly terrain. I'm looking at a JD 5045E or a Kubota MX4700.
Talking with the salesman, he suggested I should get a pull-along bush hog, like a JD MX8, rather than a 3-point bush hog. He said the tractor would be much more stable with the pull-along.
Is he right? What are the advantages of the pull-along (that just hooks to the drawbar) over the one that hooks to the 3-point hitch? Is one better than the other? Which one is more expensive?
Thanks.
Dave
