Trading in LS XJ2025 for Zero turn mower and UTV?

[finn1]

I use my Kawasaki Teryx around the yard a lot. Much more useable than the pickup, which would spend all spring and fall buried to its axles in the yard by the lake. Even a keep has too much ground pressure to stay above ground.

It’s handy for hauling around chainsaws, firewood, and running to my shop, a mile up the road.

We also have hundreds of miles of recreational trails in the area, many of which aren’t open to trucks or Jeeps..

Only issue with mine is the lack of a selectable differential.

I would not be without my kubota RTV.It handles most of our yard work,snow plowing duties and such.If it dies tomorrow I would buy another.

Thanks all. Sounds like consensus is the ZTR and UTV should fit my needs well. Now to list the tractor package and see what the dealer would offer for trade value. Hope to see grass popping up soon.

It is a good time of year to sell a tractor so you should not have much trouble. I was just on the Kawasaki site and they have some great incentives on Mule Pros right now! Probably most all of them do. Although trading might be better at tractor dealers that also sell UTV and ZTR. Good luck.

Ok, could use advice now on the zero turn purchase. Sounds like dealer will give $11K trade-in on the LS XJ2025H and midmount mower. Two options suggested are:

Encore 60” Caliber (ec60fx850v5x) - FX850V engine and Hydro ZT-5400
Bobcat 60” ProCat6000 (9996004) - FX801V engine and Hydro ZT-4400

The Encore is $400 less for the more powerful engine and hydros, which is the route I’m thinking.

Thoughts?
