Howdy all, I'm new to the forum and hoping to get advice from more experienced folks. I own 6 acres, my main use will be tilling for garden area and FEL work keeping up my shooting area (backstop etc...) along with other light tasks like dead tree removal etc...
My dad has a JD 3032E and I like it okay, but the 2-speed tranny seems to be all around where I really wanna be though. I have to admit to being a little blown away by where that little 4WD tractor could go, in the creek with mud deep enough to cover the front tires getting rock for the driveway......I just watched shaking my head.
The local dealer here in Crockett, Texas has priced the 3032E with FEL and a rotary tiller for 22,080 out the door. I reckon that's an okay price, I've not compared it to other dealers....but I do like keeping my money local. We also have Kubota, Mahindra and New Holland in town. What would be the closest equivalent from those brands to the 3032E? I'm thinking Kubota L3301, Mahindra 1533HST, New Holland I don't know about.....the Workmaster 33 or Boomer 35?
From your experience which of those choices would serve me best and am I making apple to apple comparisons?....or do I need to look at different models? Seems like industry standard warranty is 2 year bumper to bumper and 6 year drive train except Mahindra's 7 year warranty.
I'm not a brand loyalist or a dealer loyalist, I'm a Rodney Shuffler loyalist and whatever lets me buy more guns, guitars and Harleys is what i usually like best, but not if it costs me in the long run. :laughing:
Thanks folks, I appreciate the help.
