JD425 price

[g42guy]

I saw an ad in the paper for a JD 425 2 wheel steer with 60" deck and only 33hrs for $7100. Plus a one year warranty. Now that's still a lot of money, but JDs website has the new ones with a 54" at $9200. So would this be a good deal?? And a good tough lasting tractor?

Yes, on all counts. A good tractor and the price isn't bad with a 1 yr. warranty.

This is a very good deal. I bought my JD425 in 1995. Paid about $9,500 new w/ 54" mower deck. I love this tractor and have never had a problem with it. Only drawback is it guzzles gas like there's no tomorrow. But, if I had this opportunity to purchase a 425 w/ 33 hours and $7,100, I'd still go for it. I'd wager you could use this throughout this summer and if you didn't like it, you could likely sell it for $8K or more. Hope this helps.

g42guy,
I have to put in my 2cents.
I had a 425 and it was a good mower and a pleasure to drive, now the buts, I got rid of mine because I thought the 60" deck was too much for it.
The electric clutch did not help, I would have to let it warm up before engaging the blades and then it would still kill the engine sometimes. Several JD servicemen agreed that the 425 should not be sold with the 60" deck.
I checked on prices before I sold mine earlier this year and could buy a new JD 425 2/ws for $7,628, and all wheel steer for $8,490. Those prices were with 54" deck, there was a $474 upcharge for the 60" deck.
I was looking at getting a JD455 but the price with 60" deck, three point hitch and rear PTO was $11,885. I instead got a Kubota BX2200 with all that and Front End Loader for $12,050
Something to think about.
Good Luck
