I have never owned a tractor. However, we now have 5 acres to maintain so I need a compact tractor for brush clearing, some tilling, snow removal and for a huge landscaping project which will include the extensive use of a backhoe over a period of a year or two.
I am looking at a LS i3040H tractor with a LB2100 backhoe. It seems to be a great tractor with more than ample power for my needs. The local dealer痴 lowest price is $23,400 for the tractor, loader and backhoe the tractor has been sitting on his lot for some time. Does anyone know if that is that a decent price for this LS tractor set-up? Or should I pass on the i3040 and order the new version, the R3039H, for a higher price? I haven稚 seen the R3039H so I don稚 know if it is worth more money, but I do like the idea of getting the latest model.
Any input concerning either the i3040 and/or the R3039 would really be appreciated.
Thanks!
