I agree, and would suggest testdriving the 5-series, too. This is a step-up to the utility tractor range, and qhen I was shopping I found I could get more tractor for similar cost. Basically a trade-off of bells, whistles, and maneuverability for weight and size. The latter was more important to me, may not be for you if things like HST are important. I also like basic stuff for purposes of having fewer things to fix/go wrong.
This is a good point (although where do you stop? There is always the 6 series :laughing However, I recently went on the NH website and used the "build your own" tool to build a NH 75hp tractor. I then went to the JD site and did the same with a 4720, I outifitted them as close to apples to apples as I could be, which was everything except HST on the NH since it was unavaliable, however, the price was within 100 dollars of the two. It just goes to show that you can get a lot more for your money when you get out of the CUT segment.
However, you started looking for the 2x20 series and now we're talking about utility tractors
