Buying Advice Buying new L4600 Kubota. Better to package attachments or buy them separate?

I'm with Brian about the customer assembled "package". I think you can save money.

One nice thing about buying used is you buy it, try it. You may buy some thing for a good deal but not use it as much as you think. Relist on craigslist at a not so great price and make a buck or too. I have thinned out my implement collection lately and I have not lost one dime doing it. I live right near a city so I have a large market to resale to. I typically buy farther from the city where great deals aren't gone in an hour. It works for me anyways. YMMV.

Yep, and think of the money you've saved over buying new!!! You'll rarely sell a new bought item for what you paid. And forget about making any money.

Of all mine, it would be the Grapple that I couldn't live without.

I might agree with you this time next year. I bought the grapple last week but haven't installed the 3rd function yet. I have used a rental on a skid steer a lot and know I am in for a big sh**eating grin.

There's only one thing bad about a Grapple. It'll make you extremely lazy. You'll work for 5 minutes trying to pick up a small tree branch with the Grapple rather getting off and doing it by hand!!!

There is NOTHING bad about that! It's all in how you look at it. In that situation, you would be getting 5 valuable minutes of brain exercise trying to figure out the best way to pick up the branch, as well as 5 valuable minutes practicing dexterity.
