I wish that I had known about compact telehandlers sooner!
I also spent nearly a year researching and thinking about what I needed/wanted. My choice had a lot to do with the dealer that I wanted to do business with but if I found that nothing they carried would fit my needs I would have gone elsewhere. When making purchases of this magnitude I always need to be confident in my decision because I know I'll have to live with it for a very long time, in this case, probably the rest of my life, or at least until it comes time to sell my house because I am no longer able to maintain it and move into a place that will not require me to own a tractor.I researched tractors to death for about a year for my defined needs, I think I made the right decision! I will have 85h on mine since August 1st 2020. I got a larger compact with a cab and 48.3Hp
Having a second tractor is VERY handy!If I could go back I would definitely have my current tractor but I would have kept my Mahindra 2615 also. It would not be used much but having a smaller lighter tractor at times would be nice.
That's where I'm at now with my latest purchase, a new Kubota KX057-5 mini excavator that I signed the papers for on Saturday. I am confident in my selection, but I'd be lying if I said the purchase price isn't causing me to lose some sleep!When making purchases of this magnitude I always need to be confident in my decision because I know I'll have to live with it for a very long time...
