CC 6284

[mcseminole]

Looking really hard at the cub 6284. Maintain about 3-1/2 acres (mowing primarily) and have several more acres that need attention. My question is this: 1. My local dealer is offering a 6284 w/loader (mod 810 i believe) and a 60 "MMM out the door for 17,500,,,seems a little steep,,especially with a "new" tag and 23 hours on the machine and dings on the loader. 2. Is there a better option,,,keep in mind I want an upper 20 HP diesel,,hydro tranny ( wife will be using also), loader, and MMM for ease of cutting. Thanks for help,,great forum.

Hey again,,little disappointed I've gotten no replies,,this group seems very knowledgeable and I would really appreciate any help offered. I haven't read many posts from 6284 owners. Would love to know how happy you guys are with them,,,size issues ( too big for weekly cutting,,or too small for tree removal and clearing),,,any breakdown issues etc. Thanks again,,and great forum.

That seems terribly high. A month or so ago before I purchased my cc 5252 I had a quote to buy a JD 2305 for right at $15k optioned exactly like you need (60" MMM, FEL). I know this is a few less hp than you are looking for, but I would think overall still a pretty comparable tractor.

Might want to look at a new holland tc model. Or a case dx model.

A Kioti CK25HST might be worth considering.

On the Cub, with 23 hours and loader dings I would expect them to come down quite a bit off list. If you're seriously considering that machine, I would put together a reasonable offer and present it to the dealer. They may have just thrown that number on the table either to see if you'll bite, or perhaps they consider you just a "tire-kicker". If you can pay cash outright I would offer $15,500. If not, $16000 with 20% or more down payment. At the very least the dealer will see you're more than just a tire-kicker and if he doesn't accept, will likely counter.

If you prefer yellow and white, I just saw a 2003 7264 on ebay with 50 hrs you might want to check out. Item # is 7622229101. The model number is different, but this looks like the new 6000 series tractors. It doesn't have a deck, but has a FEL. I'm not sure what the reserve is, but could probably save a boat load off what you could get from the dealer.
