Now that most of you own and operate your "toys" and have a better understanding of what implements are most important to you, in what order would you purchase them in?
I now have just shy of seven acres and after my dozer guy gets done, clearing will no longer be an issue. I intend to get a 4310 or 4410 tractor (e-Hydro, R4's, third SCV, mid PTO and cruse upgrade) with a 430 loader, MMM and MX5. I have to stay under $30K. As you can see, my budget will allow for some implement purchases. I will be maintaining a 300' driveway, mowing, landscaping... the usual stuff.
So, how would you spend the $10K or so after the tractor, FEL, MMM and MX5 and why?
Would you go with two serious items like the 4 in 1 bucket and the 48 backhoe?
Or if it was you, would you get a lot of smaller items like a box blade, spreader, rake...?
I am going to stick to the John Deere and Frontier brands because I am only 30 and want them to last a long time (not that other brands are bad)
This should be a fun thread to watch /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Thanks for your time,
