I'm sure that this topic has been discussed many times before, so I apologize for asking again. My wife and I will be moving to a 40 acre place with about 20 acres of woods. While the farm land will be farmed or fenced for cattle pastures, we need something to mow the grass around the house and down by the stream. In addition, there is a lot of brush and growth in the wooded area that we'd like to clear. Eventually, we might need a snow blower or blade on it as well.

We saw a Steiner a couple of years ago at a home show and it seemed like a nice tractor. Then, we noticed that a local equipment dealership has Ventracs, so he was showing us the features that it has, and saying that the Ventrac is a better-built and more comfortable machine.

As we get closer to moving onto the property full-time, I found a used Steiner 430 max with about 1500 hours on it, 8 wheels, and rear weights. It has a Kubota engine on it.

My question for you all is whether we should consider getting a used Steiner 430 Max, or just bite the bullet and go for a new Ventrac? Is there a huge difference in features or quality? By the way, since we are building our house now, the budget is limited! I just don't want to spend several thousand on a used machine and need to replace it in a few years with a new machine that costs several more thousand!

Any opinions / advice are certainly welcomed!

Thanks,

In researching them, it appears they are among the best mowers. I'd appreciate any feedback if you own one or have owned one. I like the way the deck tips up for cleaning and maintenance and the rest of the mower lifts up to service the engine.
