OK, I'm giving serious thought to buying a small tractor to use to finish mow a 5 - 7 acre lawn (wide open, flat RECLAIMED farm field.) This would be a dedicated mowing machine. (3 point, five foot finish mower we already own)
My finalists:
- 2006 New Holland TC26da. 68 hours. Nice shape. Has FEL. $12,200 bottom line price. (FYI this is a pre LS tractor, a Shibaura built machine. Some would say, "one of the good ones".)
- 2012 Bobcat CT122. Brand new. Warranty. Has FEL. $12,400 bottom line price.
- 2014 LS J2023H. Brand new. Warranty. Has FEL. $13,100 bottom line price.
This would be a second tractor for us. We already own a 30hp CUT.
I don't know why, but I'm leaning toward the New Holland. Am I nuts????
