Just recently acquired 5 acres of land and built a house on it. It is mainly flat/gentle hill with a creek running though it. Main uses would be landscaping and mowing but I have an immediate need to clear some large trees with it.
Having been to a local Kubota and JD Dealer, they both recommend a "mid-size" tractor at the largest (B2920/JD 2720). They both tried to talk me into the (BX/1 series) lineup. After driving both a 2320 and a 3320, I felt that the 2320 "fit" me better size-wise and was then set to get a new 2720 w/ FEL & MMM(62D) based on the experience and desire for more power. However, I spoke to my neighbor who has a 3320 and he really recommended the 3X20 size. My budget is $20-$24k max and I would love to take advantage of the 0% on a new one.
Option #1: The local dealer has a 2006 3520 with FEL and MMM for $22K with 855 hrs.
Option #2: Order a 2720 with FEL and MMM ($22.5K online or work with local dealer on price here but I doubt that they will match)
Question is Used 3520 vs New 2720? Seems like I never see a "Wish I would have bought a smaller tractor." thread!
I appreciate your insight!
