Hello members of Tractorbynet.
I've been reading a lot of your messages on buying a new compact tractor. Well, I'm in the same boat here. What should I do?
Looking closely at the Kubota l2800, and recovering from John Deere price shock..I stumbled across the Massey 1500 series and found them to be a good buy for the money; However, I'm stuck on one issue. I cannot decide if I should get the 1529 or the 1532 it痴 about a 4k more for the 1532. Will I miss\need the extra horse power?
I have 80 acres in Northern Minnesota that needs some work. I will be clearing trees to make a driveway to the cabin, and need to clean up behind the loggers that cleared the value timber about 10 years ago, and start working on food plots and other similar tasks. Will the 1529 be enough to do the job or will I be kicking myself for not getting the 1532?
I have been talking to the local Massey dealer; he recommends the 1529 with the factory joystick, L100 loader for $17,950.00 before tax. He's asking 4k more for roughly 5 more HP. Is it worth the money? This will be a life time purchase and I don't want to be disappointed.
