B7100 HST Troubles

[ackhamp]

Hello all, I have B7100 4WD (4100 hours) with a pto problem. I was cutting grass with a belly mower and the mower and tractor stopped dead. The pto would only turn 1 revolution then stop. Took the tractor into the dealer and they took off the mid pto and there was loose bearings in there. Not sure where they are from, they say they have to split the tractor. My question, should I fix it for about $1500 or trade it in on another. They are giving me about $2000 on the trade.
Thanks!!

Lot's more info would help if you want good advice.
1. Your uses
2. What do you have for implements
3. Does the 2K include the mower and other implements.
4. Whats "another"? a naked B7100?
5. etc.

Hi
I use it to mow, 60" belly mower, 48" tiller and 48" Inland snowblower
The $2000 is for tractor and mower.
Another is a another brand, MF GC2300
They had a B7200 for trade, 575 hours, heated cab, 4WD no implements, $3500 with trade.
Is the B7200 a good unit also?
I just wonder if the 4100 hours on it warrant fixing as there could be more big problems down the road. Where could the bearings be from? They wont know until they split it.
Thanks
