Like everyone else in the world, my wife and I are looking at CUTs. We currently have a Long 445 we've been using for mowing, but its time we get something with a loader. I don't really think we need the 43 hp the Long has, and I'd like something that sits a little smaller. We've got 60 acres in southern IL, and its not really flat. Theres an area of CRP that I want to convert to food plots, so I need something that will pull a small disc ok. Other than that I'll use it for mowing and loader work. We've got lots of stuff to clean up on the property.
I've got price quotes on three machines with loaders so far
Kubota L3400 - $18,250
John Deere 3038E - $17,750
John Deere 3032E - $16,750
I need to take a close look at each of them. The way I understand it, the E series Deere 305 loader will not quick detach from the tractor, while the L3400 will. Trying to decide if this is a must.
Any thoughts? Any other machines I should look at? Can I get the prices down any, or is this about as low as they go?
thanks
Aaron
