Re: Frontier Implements by Woods
Cliff, Tony & the rest of the Gang...
This line should be in the dealer pipeline in the next few weeks... The only answer I could get on pricing was Competitive. If you notice on the rear blade, you can install a hydraulic cylinder... I believe this rear blade translates to a rb700/800 series over on Woods side. About $750-850 ? Again, don't hold me to it. I'll try to come back and confirm this. Everything about this Frontier line shouts at you...QUALITY... Why of course... it's made by Woods. I half joked to the John Deere rep. and told him they could advertise the paper thin steel X13 Rotary cutter series as medium duty Finish mowers... Guess what... he scribbled it down on paper... [img]/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif[/img] The quality of John Deere implements has been always top shelf... There is nothing wrong with the JD gearbox or driveline... the X13 series in my opinion was designed with the wrong gauge steel... if they would use a 10 gauge deck and 7 gauge skirt... that would eliminate their current problem on this light duty line... that's the problem... it's absolutely too light duty for brush hogging purposes. This series really gave John Deere a black eye... I think they realize it now.  "You are what you eat, drink, think, say and do..." |

Re: Frontier Implements by Woods
I talked to my JD dealer and the prices he quoted me for the Frontier implements are comparable to Woods prices. The biggest detemining factor for bottom line cost will be the discount given to the dealer. This is based upon how much the dealer expects to sell for the next year (begins Aug 1st). So my suggestion is that you shop around both JD and Woods dealers to see which one has the best prices.

Re: Frontier Implements by Woods
John,
I agree with you about the x13 being so light,but the gearbox being ok,I had 3/8" welded across the end and I am going to have the same done to the sides,I should have a good unit then and last many years,it is an aggrivation to buy something new and not to mention the premium price I paid and 2 weeks later have it setting in a welding shop spending a couple hundred more. |
