Price Check Not sure of my investment

Moship,
Thank you again.
I am looking at the rear pull because it will be new, I can keep my FEL on and the hook up is easier.

I think it sounds real good for a cab!

Trook,
Thank you for your opinion. Coming from an owner of a 4320, your opinion is important

Don't think of it as an investment....it's guaranteed to lose value. That makes it an expense, or cost. For $28.5, there are new, cab tractors, with more power, and warranties, you could buy.

Please elaborate. I might be in the market.

tjt35,

We seldom see used 4x20 series cab tractors down here. People seem to like them so much that they are very hard to find used. When I do see them, however, they are almost never advertised for less than 32k unless they have excessive hours or are in poor condition.

For example, the only thing in the region right now is a 2010 4720 (not a perfect match, but close) with roughly 100 hours, 4wd and fel for $37k. Unless your 4320 cab is in poor shape for 600 hours, I say you got a good deal. In fact, I would expect to pay closer to $30-32k for the same tractor down here.

Gman,
I'm not sure of what you speak. What new john deere's or Kubota's which are HSTC are you referring to; I would be very interested.

Trook,
Thank you for your insight. The tractor visually looks excellent but I am going to have it checked by a JD mechanic for $100-150.

'07. Was used on mainly for brush hogging or so I am told

Not really a selling point, IMO. Brush hogging is unexpectedly destructive to tractors. Way different from finish-mowing, because you are semi-regularly running into rocks, cinderblocks, engine blocks, ditches, spools of barbed wire, well heads, and so forth without expecting it. I mean, if it was being used to load gravel all day long, that'd probably be harder work, but bush-hogging isn't exactly light work. Meh. I guess it depends on what you're hogging. The guy who lives next to me mows a big field twice a year. It's bush-hogging, but there are no surprises there.

You should be able to get a Kioti DK50SE HST Cab for right around that price, and it would include more standard features, like a standard rear remote, rear 3pt control, among other things.
