I've been doing a lot of reading on the forum. I'm moving to a new home on 7 acres - 1.5 lawn / 2.5 pasture / 2 woods / 1 swampy area - most all of which is sloped (except the low area). I originally thought I'd be spending about $2500 on a "riding mower". After a lot of reading and research, I've decided that a JD 2210 is probably what I need.
Reading the TBN forums makes me wonder if I should be considering a Massey Ferguson / New Holland / Kubota or some other tractor that I hadn't looked at too closely. The Kubota and JD are very similar in price ($13200 w/ FEL and 62"MMM) and I could really go either way between Kubota and JD. I really don't want to go over $15K. Is there anything else that I should be looking at?
PS - anyone know if you can get a toothbar for the JD FEL?
