About a month ago I was quoted $10,600 gear trans., and I think $11,400 for hydro trans.. This was for just 1523 tractor .....with no loader, no mower, etc. This is in N. Carolina.
Dealer has one coming and is supposed to call me for test drive when it arrives. On paper this tractor seems like a lot of tractor for its size. 102" long(counting 3PH), and 68.5 cu.in. engine(rated @ only 2600 rpm)equals a CUT tractor in almost a SUB-CUT size.
