I just talked to a JD dealer in AR. He quoted $1,900 for a MX6 with chain guards and slip clutch.

One JD dealer I talked to said he sold LX's for the 1 acre size jobs. He recommended the MX for serious work.
I bought two MX 6--my places are 280 miles apart. One cost $2,175--Texas hill country dealer, the other $2,300--Texas plains dealer. the purchases were only a month apart and respresent a different market. $1800 is a good price.

$2200 seems to be the best I can get around here, so I'll probably have to stick with that. Oh well - it's not that much more....
Serious jobs? Hmm.... define serious job for me. My acreage is a mixture of pasture grasses, ditches (roadside), and swampy area that I'll be cleaning along. Too much cutter? Or is this another situation where having too much is ALWAYS a good thing...? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Before spending more than necessary, what's in the field that is to be mowed?
If it's grass with few/no rocks or stumps, then save a few hundred dollars and get the LX6. I mow 10 acres of pasture with mine and it does fine.

Check the implement code to make sure your tractor can handle the MX6, it is heavy.
