Opinion on buying rebuilt John Deere 3020

[buickanddeere]

Over the next 10 years it will cost less and have more retained value if you purchase a new 5055E with a loader. Less aggravation and down time too. The 4WD will walk through where the 3020 will sit and spin.
The 5055E will also park in an ordinary automotive garage space.

but it's a tight fit

Sharp looking unit.

I 'd bet that 3020 is heavier than the 5055 even with the loader. A friend of mine has a MF with over 14,000 hours on it, rebuilt, that thing purrs like a kitten.
I know the "10" series were problematic, not so much on the "20" series.

Four cylinder Waterloo engines are no prize . The 4WD 5055E will pull a 3020 around like a toy in mud or snow.
