It's a 2012 model and the guy took excellent mechanical condition of the tractor and had it serviced on the intervals. He did use it as a tractor so it has 2 small cosmetic issues right now.
They are:
*A brick fell out of the FEL and hit to hood which resulted in a small (quarter size) dent next to the hood emblem and a scratch on the front left headlight lens. (Might pull the hood and get the hammer/dolly out to see if I can get it back into shape.)
*The hood is sun faded so I need to wash the entire tractor and wax/polish it.
I will give the 40" a shot. I'm hoping to clear some ATV trails on the farm and it might be a good size for that but I have no idea.
I plan on grabbing pics tomorrow. I had a Honey Do project today but I did use the FEL to hold up the side of a pergola I was finishing for my wife so its already doing work for me.
What sparked this purchase was renting a small Kubota Mini Ex (the smallest they make) to dig up some sewer lines. After running it for about 8 hours I decided I'm not interested in using shovels etc to dig anymore.
In that condition, it sounds like a really good deal. The 40" will work fine, it will just not cover your tracks and will take longer in a larger field. Whether it is right for you will depend on which you prefer to spend, money or time. Good over all deal even without the cutter.
