A cab will add $6,000 to the cost of the tractor!!! I ran 4 miles last night (92 deg F) and enjoyed myself. No cab for me; I'd rather give the money to a good charity.
FEL would be nice... but I've got a 46 HP Bobcat with a bucket rated at 1750 lb sitting in my garage doing nothing already. The 3005 lifts 740 lb and the 4005 lifts 1256 lb. To get the lift capacity of my Bobcat I'd have to step up to a JD 4120, which runs $25,000 with FEL (2194 lb lift capacity).
No cab or FEL for me. The more I think about it the more I like the idea of the 4WD 3005. Several JD dealers in my area and a parts network second to none. And I can rent/buy box/dozer/snow blades, land planes etc for the Bobcat.
Thanks again everyone.
