I just moved into my first country place and I need to decide somewhat soon as to what equipment is going to do the mowing job.
I've been to a JD and Kubota dealer and got similar recommendations although different pricing. I have about 5 acres of straight fairly flat turf mowing and about another 4 acres of slight to occasionally moderately sloped pasture which needs brush hogging. An FEL would be useful in the long run on other projects, although not critical immediately (Buy weights instead for now?)
The JD recommended set up was the 790 4wd, 70QA loader, 613 cutter GM 1072 6' finish mower and their 15 bu. cart, for about $17k. The Kubota price for similar was about 3k more.
Your thoughts and suggestions appreciated.
