At current interest rates it makes more sense to finance at 0% for 84 months if the upcharge is only around 10-11% of the tractor.

When I worked out the math, I was thousands of dollars ahead paying more and taking the free money for 84 months and investing that $$

That makes sense for prices within 10%. A green tractor comparable to my MT242CH was almost 60% more.

Kioti flow is over 15gpm. LS is under 12.

Dumb question from a rookie. I've narrowed my first tractor down to an LS MT242HC and Kioti DK4220SE. Both dealerships have been professional and are trying to earn my business. I like both tractors. LS is almost 10% cheaper. LS is a little smaller (3800 pounds to 4000 pounds), and the Kioti...

Where is the best place to find used implements in Georgia? I don't have a truck, but like you said if I can save $1k it's worth making a friend who has one.

I'm comparing the two only in the sense that I've seen them and people I trust talk about them. I know I don't really need 50+ HP so the extra power in the 574 would just be a bonus. We don't have a large TYM dealer anywhere near me so all I could see in person was a 3515 and the 574, and I...

I don't know that I "need" a grapple. I expect there will be things to clear that have been laying around for years and it could be more useful than trying to do it with pallet forks or the bucket. I am thinking the box blade will be useful for the smoothing of these elevation changes. I had a...

I am so incredibly grateful for everyone's help. As much as I want to support my local LS guy, he does not do a great job communicating and can't produce the actual tractor I would buy so that angle is fading. I got a chance to sit in a TYM 574 and it impressed me a lot more than the 3515 they...

I would pay a week. I can't even get on the riding mower for more than 15 minutes without masking up.

Thanks for all this. I am getting pros to come talk to me about the soil but not for a while. It's Georgia so I assume it's orange. Maybe I should get a Kioti or Kubodo so it wont show the dirt lol. That testing will ultimately drive what I end up planting. It could be even if I don't need a...

Smooth is certainly the better word for what I have in mind.

Smoothing is a better word than leveling. I had someone who knows a lot more than me tell me I'm probably okay with a box blade. If something is just too big I'll leave it there. Once I have the place cut, I'll know a lot better what is and isn't there. I have the luxury of just giving up if I...

Thanks. The land is basically flat but bouncy if you get my drift. I'm going to have to do some dirt work to level it a bit. My wife loves the idea of hay but it's just not realistic on this much land. I was thinking maybe a mix of some fruit/nut trees and veggies. I saw there's a new variety...

I really have been focused on 25hp machines due to price and avoiding the regen. 40hp machines have only come in play when there’s a great deal. For example, the TYM 4215 is considerably less than the Kioti 2620.
