May have to think about the tranny compared to price.
Loaded L5030HST/FEL/BH and 6' bush hog around 34k including tax.
Same place, Kioti DK45 almost same set up (difference between attachments and such) almost 4-5k less.
The L3830HST with same set up about the same price as the Kioti. Just don't want to end up wanting "more" tractor down the road.
NOT trying to get a "brand war" started.
May look at the L4400, different machine I realize.
Father will be down next week and may go for some test drives.
NH has a TC-40 (?) with FEL/BH for 27k that I may end up looking at.
When I ended up getting a ZTR (you know that question, which should I get, a ZTR or tractor, ended up going with the ZTR first) the Deere dealer kind of "rubbed me wrong".
Amazing how much you can see a difference in dealers when you're just out "price shopping".
