Currently have a 2305 with a 60in deck, ballast box and a Land Pride RB0560 and having a great debate.
I have access to a lot of equipment from my parents farm, such as a mini excavator, backhoe, larger tractors, etc.
My huge debate right now, is I can get a used 260 backhoe for my 2305, for about $4000. Or, I could trade my 2305 in on a newer 2320 and get a drive on/drive off deck for about the same amount, maybe a bit more.
Is the bigger tractor worth it, specifically with the drive on/off deck? Or is the Backhoe worth not taking 2-3 hours to go get a mini-excavator?
I have about an acre myself, but I live in a community of 264 acres that members take care of, and I'm one of 3 with access to heavy equipment.
Thoughts?
