I cannot believe this is happening, but the wife is warming (slowly) to the idea that my back isn't that of 22 year old and that I could really use a front loader. I've looked hard at replacing my John Deere 455 with a Kubota 1870 or a JD 1023. I've pretty much settled on the 1870 (primarily because it's about as big as the budget will allow.) I've got prices from 3 local Kubota dealers and the best I have currently is $11,500 with a trade of my JD455. (The 1870 includes the 54" deck and front loader.)
A couple questions:
1. How does this price sound to you? (Dealer says they are allowing me 2K for my JD, so I assume his price is 13,500.)
2. He said instead of a ballast box, I could get away with weighted back tires which is included in that price. Agree?
Thanks for sharing any info...
