I have not yet purchased a Deere but zeroing in on 5055 or 5065. I will be maintaining roads on 80 acre timber tract with about 30 naturally regenerating or creeks/drains. 5 or 6 food plots to totaling 5 acres, cutting fire breaks and plowing plots. Also using FEL for moving brush piles, filling ruts with aggregate, etc. In looking at the 4000 series compacts they look more expensive and lighter and less capable. Is this a no brainer that 5000 series is much better value ? Is the benefit of the 4000 series (eg 4320, 4520) that they are easier to transport and that is great for people moving their equipment daily? I would like some perspective on why the 4000 series seem like not nearly the value as the 5000 (smaller ones like 55 or 65) tractors. I started out looking at a 4005 with 300CX loader and it just seems for a few dollars more I am getting 2000 more lbs tractor and much more capability.
