Hi,
I'm looking for a compact to handle my small 4 acre lot here in the UK. Unfortunately our tractor prices are high - second hand prices especially (dealers typically asking $18k before tax for a 3 year old machine with 500 hrs).
I've been thinking about buying something in the US and getting it shipped over. I am comfortable handling the UK end (import duty, VAT etc) but could really do with a recommendation for a US dealer who is happy to ship overseas.
I'd like a new (or slightly used) JD790+FEL or would consider one of the Kubota's as an alternative. Anyone here shipped one already and, if so, was it worth the effort?
Alan.
