I was recently looking at a used G series LS tractor, however really felt like I should bump up to an XR class. I was just about set on a LS XR4140 hydro for $23,700, when the dealer also showed me a 2005, I believe, Montana 4344 hydro he had for $12,900 with 530 hours.
He said that model is an LS, same class of tractor, about 400lbs lighter, smaller tires (43" instead of the 48"). IS there any major difference on why I should spend an additional 10k? The financing works out to be about $100 a month different due to new having a longer 84 month term vs used at 60 months.
Are the loaders comparable? I measured the Montana as a 66" bucket, LS 72", not sure if the LS is much stronger or not. He was saying pretty much everything else was the same. I'd like to find a used backhoe as well, which makes the price of the montana a little more enticing, and he has a bush hog 750H for $2900.
He gave me a quote of $29,000 for a new XR4140h with backhoe, but now we're getting a little too high for me.
