I would rather find something used to replace my B7100 with a tractor with a loader. I've looked at a used lb1910 in great shape for $7000, with a chipper (no need but I could sell it). A lk3054 with loader and a old bush hog for $7000, he said he will take $6500. Both tractors have low hours. The 3054 is faded. No blow by or excessive smoking. I then looked at new tractors even though I don't want to spend twice as much. But for some thing so much newer and a warranty,more options etc it may be worth it. Their is a new ds 3510 for sale in Alabama for $13900 with loader. Locally in n. Illinois a dealer has a new ck 35 hst for $15900 plus tax, ck 20s hst for $14499 or a ds 3510 for $14700.
I only have 6 acres, I cut about 1-2 acres, Take care of my 400 foot driveway. I really want/need a loader. I know a ck20.would be plenty but a little concerned about 2 speed hydro, I've read it doesn't move well in high range. My property also has 300 feet of lake frontage that sometimes needs maintenance. I have no food plots or other things to maintain. No house (yet) just a small building with a patio and other creature comforts. I already have a rake, subsoiler, 4'finish mower and a middlebuster. Thanks for any input.
