Well, I need some advice... Hopefully you guys can help. I have 20 flat acres where construction of my house will be begin soon. I'll be mowing about 5 acres, maintaining a 200 ft driveway, putting in trees and fence posts and doing some landscaping. A buddy will also be digging a 1 acre pond for me with a large excavator. I'll then be maintaining the area around the pond which is forest.
My original plan has been a new JD 3320. I plan to take advantage of the 5 years/0 percent financing. I think this tractor will run around 22k with the loader. I haven't starting price negotiations yet....
Th other option is buying my neighbors JD 2002 4410 35 HP with 1200 hours on it. He'll throw in the loader, landscape rake, box blade and finish mower. Package deal will be 14k. Tractor seems in good condition. He said it has an E-Automatic trans. I'll be looking at it in the next few days.
This will be my first tractor. Which would you choose?
Thanks in advance for the advice!
