Will soon have 2.5 acres of pretty flat land without many obstacles Looking to buy new Cub Cadet (feel they're a better deal than a Deere). Was confused about differences between different series - 1000, 2000, 3000. Did some research. I had settled on a 2554 but then decided to look harder at a 3100. Having a tough time justifying jump in series. Can anyone shed some light on differences - why 3000 series is "better" (ie - worth the additional $$$) than 2000? Is a larger deck better or does cut quality suffer? Any help would be appreciated
