HOW\'D I DO?....NH 1520 PURCHASED USED.
Ok guys, after almost a year of searching, and lamenting on "new vs. used", I finally bought a used tractor at my dealer yesterday. The 1520 hydro, with loader, has 650 hrs. on it and is in real nice cond. $9500.00. Then I purchased a used Howard rotovator 52" for $950, and a NEW bush hog finish mower 3PH 72" rear discharge for 2100.00. Grand total was $12,550. Was this a descent deal?...BE HONEST NOW!!
I have 10 acres, and finish mow about 3.5, as well as bush hog about the same. We have a large garden, and anticipate starting a small farm of sorts. I am hoping I made a good decision, and got a fair deal. I had seen tractors for less money from private sales, but wanted the dealer support and service that I will now hopefully get. ......Now I will start looking for more attachments etc. so that I can go out in the dirt and play...er...I mean work.
