Help deciding which CUT is right for me

[greeeeeenberg]

So after looking at the MMM I agree with everyone saying get a ZTR mower or the RFM instead. The only one that I could see myself wanting to use is the auto connect on the JDs but that's an expensive unit. I think the RFM would be easier for me as I already have a small mower to take care of the tight places, and if nothing else I'll buy a cheaper ZTR to use for several seasons.

I have looked at all the tractors in my attachment, but the 1742 MF and the Kubota L4060. Out of these I really liked the MF's the best as it had more creature comforts and the price was more in line with what I'm looking to spend. The Mahindras were a bit rough around the edge, the Kubotas heel to toe pedal my wife didn't like, and the Deere's are bit pricey. I blame that on being in Iowa :laughing:

My next step is to start researching the dealers in more detail as all of the tractors would meet my needs, but as few of you have mentioned dealer, dealer, dealer. And to start the test drives!!!

If anyone has more tractor information or think I am missing something critical for the comparison, please let me know. With these new models there really isn't a nice comparison database that I can find anyway.

If you are looking for a comparison, here's the spreadsheet I made when I looked. It had just about every tractor around in your range, with a few others for comparison. The only out of date thing is that the Kubota LXX00 series is now the LXX01 series. Of course your prices will be different.

EDIT: TBN is saying the excel file I have is invalid and won't let me upload it:banghead: I'll try later on a different browser, but anyone have any help

If you save as a PDF you can upload it. The forum won't take any excel file formats.
