THAT is solid advice.

#1 - What are you FOR SURE gonna use it for. Make a list.
#2 - Which tractor (any color) will do THAT LIST BEST.
#3 - BUY THAT tractor

'Nuff said.

Solid advice BigBull338.

I would second Baby Grand's last paragraph about dealer support. In the HP range you are looking at, my opinion is all the major brands have good CUTs. For me a big part of the equation is support that will last the life of the tractor.

I am a homeowner and I am looking to buy my first tractor. I know nothing about tractors and I married into a farming family. Ofcourse they have large john Deere tractors and suggest that I buy a smaller one of those but wow the prices I have seen are crazy. I guess the old saying is true if your going to drive something that is the color of money you better have a lot of it. I am looking for a 4x4, 35-40 HP with a loader any suggestions?

I would recommend you consider a Deere 4x20 series tractor, good power range for cat 1 implements, good ground clearance and stability decent loader capacity and the ehydro transmission is great for loader work. I have a 4520 cab tractor I am very satisfied with.

Keep peace in the family and save yourself a lot of grief in the long haul. Take their advice. They probably know what they are talking about. I would say this same thing if they were steering you to a NH, Kubota, etc.

If they have a lot of JD in the family they probably ave a good relationship with a dealer or dealers. That can help in the unlikely event you have a problem with your JD.

And it will avoid issues when you do inevitably have problems with the other brand you buy. you know, the 'well, we told you....'

So just relax, get their input and enjoy your new JD!

I would be more inclined to agree if they offered to pay the price differential.

Well today I went to the local john Deere dealership and I'm not sure if I was given a good deal today or not. I went and looked at a jd 4005 with a front end loader. While the salesman and I were talking he realized that this is my first so he decided to turn it into a package deal. He included a 5" cutter, 5" box blade, a 5" scrape blade for front and have it delivered for 25k. Again this is the first tractor I have looked at is it a good deal or do I need to walk away?

And I would Third that. I live 5 minutes from my dealer and couldn't tell you how may times I've ran over for a stupid $4 part at 11:45 on a Saturday that has saved my weekend from being a waste. It's worth a lot being close by.

Just an FYI - it will usually be easier for the people in your area to help with recommendations if they know where you are located. At least generally.

Sorry about that I am located in southwest Georgia on the state line with Alabama. I have tried to located some local dealers but with almost no success.
