Cub Cadet 7235 . . .?

I had posted this in the Cub Cadet forum and got no response. Perhaps the larger audience here might have some opinions to share.


"I've been shopping for a smaller tractor to do some grading and fence work around my house. I only have about an acre, and am already well equipped to mow, but as part of a pool renovation I will need to move 1 or 2 tri-axles worth of topsoil and have about 2 dozen post holes to dig.
I have been looking primarily at Deere and Kubota units because I'm familiar with Deere products, and have multiple Deere and Kubota dealers locally.
However there are 2 Cub Cadet 7235 units for sale near me. One is offered at $9500 with just a loader, no hours in the ad. The other has loader, backhoe, and says 54" belly mower, 1100 hours, asking $11,500.
They both look clean in the pics, and the prices are attractive. I do have Cub dealers in the area just a bit farther out. Are these decent units? Any known issues I should look for? Is durability comparable to the Deere/Kubota brands? And one final question - on the unit with the backhoe will I be able to dismount the hoe and use a 3-point and PTO to run a PHD?"

Thank you in advance for any thoughts

Cub Cadet 7000 & 8000 Series tractors are really Mitsubishi tractors. And to some extent related to the Iseki tractors. It's the reason why you got no reply.
