Hello, looking at getting a JD tractor

The 3033r looks great. And with all those attachments, you will really enjoy moving to the iMatch quick hitch system. Makes changing out the ballast box a dream compared to aligning the pins up each time.

Could consider an estate sale tractor with only tier I or II emissions and a couple of hundred hours.

Yes I am looking at auctions for those.

I will take a look at the imatch. May save some time hitching up

Well I bit the bullet and bought a 1999 4400 with only 300 hrs on it with a 430 loader and srt trans, I was wanting hydro but for the price and hours I didn't want to keep looking since most tractors this old have at least 1200+ hrs on them that I have seen on the net. Came with service book owners manual and several filters. Gonna give it a good look over this weekend and start trying to find a brush cutter for it.

Congrats.. and that is a nice size tractor.. IMO

Should handle a 5' brush cutter easily that will just cover the footprint of the rear tires, but also a 6' if that would be a preference.

For mine, I wouldn't want to be without either the forks for the FEL or the iMatch for the 3 ph.

Yes I'll probably try and find some forks. I'll have to do some research on the imatch vs other quick hitches.
