after researching and looking...I decided to go with the BX2370 & 60" mower(not fine cut)...no loader or anything(I have a Bobcat)...will only be used to mow 3 - 4 acres...
my other tractor/mower is a 1988 Ford 1220...bought new...never had a problem until this year...replaced water pump, and now the throw-out brg went...
I had a Kubota ZT 326, but sold it...quality machine, but not for me...
I thought about the Cub Cadet ZT's with the steering wheel...the Commercial or Tank...but they are sold out in this area...after talking to a CC dealer I trust, the only concern I have is problems caused by the ethanol in the gasoline...
so my choices went back to diesel...
John Deere is nice...more $$$...1025 almost as much as the 2025...and I didn't like the loader control lever used for the deck lift...
New Holland is not Shibaura anymore...and the local NH dealer doesn't have any 23 Hp models...now made in Korea
the only Kioti with MMM is the too small Boomer that NH got rid of...
so this morning, I went straight to the owner...after he gave me his price, I gave him the price a dealer in Ohio gave me...he beat that to get the sale...
$12,400 out the door(includes Pa 6% sales tax, the factory service manual, and the $200 doc fee for using Kubota financing)
