Well my wife and I went and drove some tractors today and decided to go with the FarmTrac 270DTC. The other tractor in the running was a NH TC30. I have a friend at the NH dealer so the salesman said he gave me a good price on the TC30, I have no reason to doubt this but is was still several thousand more than the FarmTrac. My wife on the other hand knows the owner of the FarmTrac dealer. I am not sure if we will get any better of a deal but it made me more secure in buying a lesser known brand. Then it came down to ride, my wife just like the FarmTrac better. Both have a gear drive but with the FarmTrac you didn't feel like you were getting whiplash when you started out even in high gear. Then the FarmTrac also has a shuttle which was a plus. We test drove a TC30 with an HST also and didn't like it. This was just a personal preference nothing against HST. I will admit though having the engine rpm and ground speed essentially separate was nice for the HST. Now I hope I never need that, we will not be mowing. So once the 48mo 0% financing starts in June we will own a tractor.
Thank you everyone who replied to some of my other postings helping me decide on what to buy.
