Hi everyone! As some of you folks know, I'm looking for a first tractor and have narrowed it down to probably a "B" series, in part based on all the help from the fine members of this forum. I live in Iowa and need occasional loader work, but mainly need to mow the hay field edges, ditch, slopes around the pond.
I was strongly encouraged to contact Barlow to see what they had and Brady let me know he has a B2320 with just 25 hours on it, with a loader, that he can get me for under 10K. The downside is it's gear drive. Now, I know lots of people don't like gear drive, but I wonder if I might be okay with it: I only drive stick shift cars. Hate automatics. And I used to live in Philadelphia and commute through the city every day in my stick shift car. Sat in stop and go traffic on I-95 every day when I lived in connecticut and never once wanted an automatic. So while I know some people find the gear shift a pain, i bet I wouldn't really care.
What do you all think?
thanks in advance!
