How many hours on the LS? If not too many keep what you have.
I know it's more money but you'll get a lot more with a 3033R.

Hey guys I've been doing something thinking about trading tractors. I currently have a 2013 LS R3039 shuttle shift and it's been a great tractor, only thing I've ever had to do was put a new battery on it last year. It has 39hp and a 4-cylinder Mitsubishi engine that is pre-emission regulation. At the time, I was living on 6 acres and I was maintaining a gravel driveway that was regularly prone to wash-outs, I was doing a lot of material moving with the bucket for various projects, and I was bush hogging about 3 acres. I also had bought a 100 acre hunting property and I was using the tractor to establish food plots, cut new trails, and bush hog and maintain existing trails.
I have since moved to a newer, less maintenance home on 3.5 acres in a subdivision. I have a concrete driveway now and I only have about 1.5 acres of woods behind the house to maintain with a bush hog. I still have the 100 acre hunting property, but I've cut all the trails I need so now most of the work is just bush hogging the trails once a year to keep them from growing up again. I also have been renting a rotary tiller every 3 years to till up the food plots for reseeding. So my overall needs for a 39hp tractor have lessened considerably. I'm at a point now where I've been thinking about slightly downsizing, but getting into a newer tractor with the iMatch hitch and just getting two new attachments that I would need to use instead of the mismatched, beat up, worn out stuff that I have now.
I've been thinking about trading for a Deere 3032E and getting a new bush hog and a grader blade. Interested to hear people's thought's on my idea. Thanks!
