Don't think you will regret that move.

I talked to a bunch of people and read a lot (including all of the feedback in this thread), and came to realize that we needed something pretty big. An x738 or x748 was looking ideal, though the 1023e seemed a good option, too. Add in a tiller for my wife and the price difference between the x7 and 1 family was pennies. And gee, that 1 family tractor can handle a loader and backhoe to do some of the work on the property that we thought we'd have to hire someone to do. Our needs weren't too far off from our wants... so we just went in, whole hog. 1025R, 54" snowblower, 54" mower, H120 loader, 260A backhoe, 647 tiller. The 0% financing helped make it a pretty easy decision!

Way to go! Good choice. Be sure to post some pictures!

Dan. I see you are in Ct. I just traded a John Deere 855 in at Midstate Tractor RT 17 ( So Main St. ) in Middletown. It is a great running tractor and in good condition I just wanted something with more HP and a little bigger. It has a mower and FEL, cab with heat. I have a 3 PT snowblower that I used on it. If the 855 is larger than what you want I would still recommend Midstate, Jim the owner is a good guy they also have the smaller tractors, I like the 700 series.

Ooo-ooo, Nice! Looks just like mine-- but it's GREEN! :laughing:

Your thought process sounds very similar to what I went through; thought maybe I was going for overkill, but I haven't regretted it once. Only wish I had gotten a SCUT sooner!

Have a great time with it and post some pics!

Congrats on the new toy/tool.

If you didn't get a cab and heat, you will cuss the day you decided to buy one and NOT get the cab. But IF you are handy, you can build one. Snow blowing back into your face is NOT fun!
