First off, the disclaimer: I didn't post this in the Montana forum as obviously opinions would be biased.
Now on to business.
Very close to my place down South is a place that sells Montana.
I did not stop there yet to check them out, and the place is more like a used car/auto repair place than a tractor dealer, but the tractors are new/unused.
Who makes a Montana?
What engine is used?
Quality?
Reliability?
Dealer network?
What I would like to do is compare them to the "normal" brands and see if they are anything I should be looking at.
For those that don't know/remember, property is basically level and consists of 15 acres (8-9 grass, rest is field). Tractor MUST have FEL and be around 25-30 HP. HST, able to pull brush hog and finish mower, post hole digger, and possibly backhoe.
I looked into possibly getting a Dixie Chopper Excalibur (9 acres an hour rating), and a separate excavator but at $17K
for the Dixie, I won't be buying one.
