Going smaller?

[mswanson]

Oh, the little guy in the picture is my youngest son. He was my helper that day last summer when we went to pick up the new tractor. The saleman was really nice and gave him a small version of the TC33D which he promptly broke the steering mechanism on during the drive home. Lets hope the big version holds up better. so far so good with 60 hours.

Going smaller? I GUESS NOT!

Well,
As I was pondering whether or not to drop down from 40D to 33D, I talked turkey to dealer number 2. Which is about 15 miles farther away. As My wife and I were asking about the 33D which would have to be ordered, the man made us an offer on the 45D/16LA he had on the lot. Well, the difference from 33D/7308 to the 45D/16LA on this particular lot today was only $2500. I don't see any reason to debate anymore. Not sure if the 765H is the right choice for the 45D though. Dealer thinks so though.

Here's the deal (so far):
TC45D/16LA, 72"HD Bucket $20,000
Bush Hog 765H BH/Subframe,Pump $5500
6ft.Bush Hog HD Rear Blade $650
Total $26150

Opinions Please?
