Hey all,
Thanks for all the input. I have been looking to purchase a new tractor for my property maintenance side buisness in southern New Hampshire for about a year now. The John Deere 855 (fel, backhoe, mmm) I had was too small for the work I was taking on - mowing ball fields, digging out walkways, some stump removal, etc. It was a good machine but as always I needed more power. I looked at and test piloted the major brands and some of the runner ups. After researching it to death, here is what I bought
TC-40D hydro w/ turfs
16LA w/ heavy duty bucket with ctr hook welded on
758 backhoe w/ 18" HD bucket
84" mid mount mower
84" landscape rake
Total out the door will be $33,700
I will also be purchasing a 10,000GVW deck over - My 3/4 ton GMC is rated to tow the load.
I should have plenty of power to take on bigger jobs now. I will be picking up the tractor at the end of this month when my $$ comes available. Will post some pictures when I get it.
Thank's again.
