I'm looking to buy a used JD 4200 4X4 Hyrro with 410 hrs. It was used by a local school to mow grass they trade every year. The dealer is asking $14,900, it has a 60" mid mow deck and for that price the dealer will put on a new 420 loader. I can buy a new Cub Cadet that is very similar for about the same price. I have also looked at the Kubota 7500HST equiped similar but for less money. This will be my first tractor. I need some advise. Is the JD a good deal? Are Cub Cadet's good or am I going to have a hard time getting rid of it. Kubota ???

If you look in the archives you will find things to check to see if all the updates have been done to the Deere.

Very generally, if you can get a brand new Kubota B7500HSD
that's similar to the used JD for less money, then I would go
with the new Kubota. All things being equal, why pay more
for something used when you can get it brand new for less?

I recently sold a Kubota B7100 that I bought used about five years ago. I NEVER had any problems with it. The only reason I sold it, was that it was too small. I believe that Kubota makes a great tractor. I also feel JD is a great machine, and recently purchased a JD4300. I think the key question for you is, what size tractor do you need? I looked at the Kubota 7500, Kubota 2410, JD 4200 and 4300 tractors. I liked them all... I chose the JD based upon size, weight, PTO HP, and lifting capacity. Netting it out. I think the 4200 would give you more power and versatility than the smaller Kubota (be sure to compare horsepower, lift capacities, weight, etc.). It really is a bigger tractor. The price you mentioned seems pretty good also
