Hi all,
I've been using the great forum here to do some research but had a couple questions.
I'm trying to decide between a PT or a kubota bx2230. We've got a 2/3rds acre lot with ambitious landscaping plans and a fair amount of drainage work. I'm thinking about getting the rock bucket, box blade, mini-hoe, and cement mixer.
I'd appreciate any feedback on these implements, especially the hoe and cement mixer.
My questions are:
How loud is the PT-422 (or 425)? Comparable to a kubota? It's a tough question but if I run it off and on all afternoon on a saturday - is it going to really annoy the neighbors (3 or 4 houses within 200 ft)?
How much work can practically be done with the mini-hoe? I'm just looking to dig trenches and planting holes and can't see anything ever being over 3 feet deep.
I'm having a hard time finding used PTs to gauge the resale value. I may want to sell the unit after the yard is completely landscaped in 4 or 5 years. When they do sell, are they selling for 50% of list price? 75% of list?
Thanks in advance for any responses!
