Dino74,
Dealwise I don't know that much. I personally think the 3520 is a tractor and tool that I could use. I think the cab is a welcome addition. But I also look at the Toolcat, and go gee there is a few more things I could do.
I like Deere and all it's tradition. It's like Harley. I understand the appeal but what really helps me get the job done and have fun?
Like any product it's your call on what you pay.
You know when K-Mart opened everyone flocked there for the best prices. That's pretty much over. Now I see these local villages dying to get a Walmart Supercenter in their town. I guess I could I could say this now, but they are doomed simply because people change, their tastes change and that's the way it is, but I could be wrong,
And maybe I am way out line for expressing my opinion here. When you're young you buy an album because it's cool. Okay listen to it everyday of your life for the rest of your life.
Did you get a good deal? Why think about it all? It's a bargain, which means that's what was done.
Me, I like the 3520 Cab model, I don't care what it costs, and I don't care that my farmer friends who drive a an AC cab all day long look down on me for wanting a cab to do my lawn.
Some times you need to do what you want and tell other people to step off. Price is just a budget item you have to live with.
