Long time lurker here...
As stated, I am looking at the 4105 and after reading lots here, I wanted to get some feedback regarding this tractor for my specific desired uses.
I own 240 acres in the flatlands of the Texas Panhandle, with about 180 acres of that in CRP (the rest is woods) that requires mowing as part of my conservation plan. In fact, mowing will be its largest chore with a few miles of "ranch roads" to keep under control and just over a mile of road frontage. But the required mowing is also not something I will ever need to be in a hurry to finish.
I'll also use it to move the occasional brush pile, pull the occasional smallish stump, haul corn out to feeders, or haul the occasional deer back to the shed. I do not plan on heavy tillage other than maybe a food plot or smaller garden. I don't want bigger for the sake of time efficiency, but would only want bigger because the 4105 just won't keep up with my expected tasks and uses. If it takes me a few days or a dozen to cut the 180 acres, I'm OK with that.
I am particularly interested in the 4105 for the HST and lack of fru-fru, but also because I can find this tractor in packaged deals for what "seems" like pretty good prices. Take this package for example:
$27,998.00 advertised price
4105 Tractor
John Deere 300 CX Loader
Insulated Canopy
6' Box Blade (with scarifiers)
6' Rotary Cutter (with Slip Clutch & Front Shields)
Post Hole Digger (with 9" Auger)
20' Trailer (Brakes, Ramps, Ramp Racks, Diamond Plate Fenders, Tube Top Rail, Bulldog Hitch)
I know you guys get threads like this all the time, but I appreciate any feedback given. Thanks!
