Hello, just purchased a 5 acre property. Moving from a subdivision to paradise. Now I'm shopping for a tractor. I'm looking for a tlb. Will be mowing a 2.5 acre yard and probably the remainder which is now a pasture. It is in good condition. Smooth and should be easily mowable after getting the pasture mowed down initially.
I have been looking at Kubota and John Deere. My local Deere dealer is strictly retail price which lead me to Kubota. My local Kubota dealer is willing to discount somewhat.
I found a Deere dealer about 35 miles away that gave me prices today. 2305, 62"mmm, 200cx loader, BH6000 Woods backhoe, R4's, $17200
Seems like a pretty good price to me. I like the looks of this tractor much better than the Kubota BX23.
My previous experience prior to the subdivision was: 1970's Deere 110, early 80's Deere 317 /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif, mid 80's Deere 330.
The 330 was a good unit the others .......not so good. My parents purchased a new 1959 110 shortly after they married. Have had only John Deere since.(they still have the 110 by the way)
Will I need the cruise control option?
How does the Woods BH6000 backhoe look/work on the this tractor?
The only bad part of buying a tractor is the shopping will be over.
