Price on a X749

[John Deere 3520]

Thanks i will look more for tires tomorrow, i know some people that have bar tires on there ZTRs.. thanks for everyones imput.

I'd shop the prices a bit, seem a little high. as for tires, I'd go with high ply. remember time is money and you don't have time to deal with flats. you'd be amazed at what a tire can find in a yard.

 

[John Deere 3520]

the price was a guesstamation. LOL im going to go to the dealer sometime this week to see about it.

Thats a big price tag for what it is. You can get a 60" diesel Kubota ZD326S for $10,300. Kubota owns the diesel ZTR market, and has for a long time. Have you looked at them?

 

[John Deere 3520]

Ive never really looked at kubota not a huge fan of them really and i think your paying a little more for that yellow paint under the hood.

Im looking at the chevron AT101 its a 4ply Id like to find a 6ply but cant seem to find one.

Confused? Explain? Not sure how you could say your paying more when its one of the cheapest diesel ZTR's available. Whats Yellow?

I'll be the first to tell you, any amount of brand loyalty to equipment is totally stupid. You can have one vender that makes a few great products, but an equal amount of terrible ones. Do your homework. We sell Ferris machines that use the same CAT engine thats in the Scag your looking at, its not a CAT... it know it says it, but its a Perkins engine. I'd take a Yanmar or Kubota over it anyday.

*IE 60 dollars an hour.
So why would you want to mow it in half the time and only collect 30 bucks?

Maybe he likes doing an HONEST job for people.

I know its a perkins diesel, cat bought them a while back so it is a cat... and like I said you pay for the yellow paint the kubota diesel that they have has a little less HP and alot less torque and its a grand cheaper from what ive read on the internet.. I will have to look at ferris

 

[John Deere 3520]

the ferris seems ok the shocks on it look nice to have,but at a $18,000 price tag. and you only get one more lb ft of torque from the ferris with the CAT i just dont think so.

No, it is a Perkins, even though CAT bought them. CAT could not build a small reliable diesel if there lives depended on it.

Actually, the Cub Cadet utility vehicles had CAT diesels in them for a while. 20hp if I remember correctly. Cub Cadet does not put ANY diesel in their UTVs anymore. But yea, CAT did put one in. Or someone made it for CAT?

Farmboy that was the first year they made the UTV i belive and it was a perkins painted cat yellow, not that it matters cause cat owns them.

CAT is the parent company, but all the engineering and R&D are all done by the Perkins crew. Some things did not change. And that makes me happy that MF(AGCO) is headed to SISU for power. As long as the CAT gang does not screw things up, they will be ok.

 

[John Deere 3520]

Ive loast alot of respect for cat over the past few years. they use to have the best motors on the road and equipment,but they seem to be falling behind a great deal there not going to have a motor on the road after 2010 i mean what is the world coming to??? Cat really needs to step up.

I hear you there. But it all comes back to $$$$. There will be off road emissions, but still, off road is a bigger cash cow for them.

 

[John Deere 3520]

yea it is a better market, but ive run a few of there new machines for my cuz and my buddy and all of use agree deere and kubota make better equipment anymore.
