I'm looking at getting a tractor and I've narrowed it down to either a Branson 2910i or Branson 3510i or New Holland TC30.
I've been reading this site for a while and I've seen good things said about both of these tractors. One of the things I'd like to know about is if the prices I've been quoted are good.
The dealer gave me a quote of:
$17000 for the Branson 2910i with a BL10 FEL and rear wheels filled.
$18000 for the Branson 3510i with a BL10 FEL and rear wheels filled.
$13995 for the New Holland TC30 ( with < 200 hours) 4wd 9x3 with a FEL and full warrantee. It was leased to one of the local nurseries without the FEL so the FEL is new.
$16500 (I think, I didn't write it down) for the same New Holland brand new.
I'm also looking at a Lands Pride 5' brush mower for $1050.
The prices for the Bransons seem a bit high to me (compared to what I've seen people quote on this website) but then from reading this site I'm not sure if the 'i' designates a newer model then what most people have and hence the higher price.
The dealer is really close to me and on past dealings I’ve been impressed with their service and their reputation seems to be good.
I've got about 9 acres of mostly wooded and some what hilly land in Portland OR. I plan to use the tractor to keep the brush down, skid some logs for firewood, a little bit of land clearing and just do general maintenance around the house.
I kind of like the Branson for it's added weight, beefier capacity on the FEL and 3pt, slightly wider stance, etc. But I was really disappointed at the price I was quoted.
Can anybody give me some feedback on these tractors and the prices I should expect?
Thanks
