John Deere 4200 60 inch Belly Mower Deck - eBay (item 230459005424 end time Apr-13-10 16:02:05 PDT)

No, it's not mine. I don't live anywhere close to Iowa. I have eBay searches set up to find these things and this one came up tonight. After Friday, I can cancel my eBay searches, if all goes according to plan.

Sure is gonna be nice mowing my place with a rig that has big wheels; those riding mowers just beat the crap out of me.

Phil is there something in particular your looking for, an attachment ??? I spend alot of time at Equipment auctions

Hey Kevin,

Unfortunately,........ I have most everything I need. (If you tell my wife, I'll deny it!)

I like to keep my eyes open for a deal. I've got the JD855 w/ a backhoe and FEL, the belly mower and a woods bush hog. Now what I would really like is a bigger tractor with about 60hp,but I can't justify it right now.

I like to go to auctions too, but I don't have the hang of them. At some auctions people can't pay enough for the junk they buy. These seem to be the estate type, were everybody comes and nobody except me has an idea that they are overpaying. I went to a surplus municipal equipment auction last year and nobody was bidding. If I had the cash, I could have purchased an 855 with cab, snowblower, snowplow, FEL and an extra set of ag tires for $6800. I could have got my money back by selling the accessories!

I hear you Phil, I wood love to have a nice cab for my 755, and a set of ag tires. It is amazing what some MORONS will over pay at auctions !

P.S. Your secret is safe with me, I would never tell your wife! LOL!

I want to get a belly mower for my 3320. I'm finding alot of decks that fit the 4000 and 4000ten series tractors. Will they match up to mine? I had a JD dealer on Machinefinder tell me the decks are the same, just the attaching parts are different. Anyone have any ideas?

To my knowledge, that is 100% correct.

clickoffcal,

Just read your post. Can you email me at pjgmgg@yahoo.com or give me your first name so I can contact you by phone. I'm interested in a number of items on your tractor. Also, where are you located?

Thanks,
Phil

I had the opportunity to buy a JD 955 about 10 years ago with 800 hours on it for $12k. I was leery because it was a rental return, but still in excellent shape.

I have been kicking myself ever since!

The resale value on the 955s are still out of sight! I know of no close replacement, from any manufacturer. The HP:weight ratio is perfect. Especially if your land is on a steep hill.

I will keep my eyes open.
