Come Monday

[jwcinpk]

No not a Jimmy Buffet song. Come Monday I will be the proud owner of a new Mahindra. I went with the 6000 4x4 with a FEL, QA Plate, and a bale spear. I also picked up a new Vermeer Rebel 504 round baler and a new 8ft cut disc mower. Now I've got to get out and beat the bush and find some more hay to cut.

Congratulations! Hope it works out well.

Waytago! I for one don't think you will be sorry. If you don't mind, what did you have to give for the 6000 w/FEL? I have been thinking about one of those Rebel 504s myself. I hear they are great balers. Congrats! BobG in VA

PS. I just turned 48 hours on my 6000 today.

$22500 for the 6000 4x4 w FEL, $395 for QA plate, and $295 for the bale spear. As I said I traded in on it so I probably coulda bought a little cheaper. Rebel baler was $11500. Can't wait!

You done good! I know I'm gonna get flamed here but the truth is the truth, If that tractor had been green, you would have spend over $35000 for it. As it is , you got a great tractor and the Rebel for what a Deere tractor would have cost out the gate. Oh....We need pictures!! BobG in VA

Which ML264 did you get? KMW or Bush Hog/GB?

That's not true at all Bob. That tractor is similiar to a 5205 from Deere. A mfwd 5205 with a loader could be had for around $23k pretty easily. This tractor is a couple hp under the 6000. If you went up to the 5320 which is 5 more pto hp then you are looking at about $27k. Nowhere near $35k. Heck the 5420 with a cab, loader and everything I bought awhile back was only $35k. I think you should get your #'s straight before you badmouth a brand. You could also get the lower JD baler for just a little more than the rebel baler as well.

The JD prices might depend a bit on area and dealers eagerness to sell. The green ones are high around here.

JD are very high around here too! $35,000 is pretty close.
