I think he meant the wife might look forward to burying his carcass. But that's just my guess.....

Welcome to TBN!!!!

So I went and sat down today... looks like they are going to do about 3k better than what I was given Saturday.

Right about 30k with a new loader before tax.

Thinking I知 going to put a deposit on it.

I have a Workmaster 60 using it to clean some of our land and it's been great. Good luck on the new purchase if you do get it.

Called an ls dealer and then stopped by- he was a bit cocky and told me he could beat the new holland price... kept bashing the lack of features on the new holland- his prices were attractive but the fact that he痴 only had the line a few years makes me worried... I think with the new holland I知 buying the well established dealer- and a no nonsense tractor with less things to break.

Should I stop kicking tires? Lol

I muddied the water a bit by going to look at a m7060 5065e and a farmall 70... the Deere痴 price is really attractive at $1500 less than that of the Kubota.

I was having a hard time justifying 6k to go with the Kubota with a 8x8 over the new holland but 4500 more for the Deere with a 12x12 seems good.

I didn稚 get to drive either of those two as the Deere is an hour north of me and I was at another of their dealers an hour south.

Off to read reviews on the two new guys.

I ended up deciding I wanted a backhoe attachment which lead me to a 95 L4350 with power reverser with 650 hours on it. It has a roughly 3 year old woods bh90x on it. Overall the tractor is in great shape other than the typical fading paint.

I致e put about 8 hours on it so far- it痴 still snowing but I put the rotary cutter on it and cleaned up some pretty thick garbage in one of the pastures and it did quite well.
