    Trading Z655 - Z915E or Z540R?

    3 year old Z655 (54" deck, 144 hrs) has developed a left wheel motor failure, however there aren't any parts in Deere inventory for warranty repair. Dealer is giving great trade, enough to keep me in JD mower family and interested in either a near direct replacement (Z540R) or upgrade to Z915E...

    Local dealer dropped ball -- forget buying a Massey?

    Salesman at local dealer (non-owner) initially quoted a figure $3,200 + tax over my best quote delivered from an out of state dealer on a 2706e. Began to mention their competitor's pricing (with the intention of offering "if you can get within ~$1k of their price would be glad to do business")...

    MX5800 Price Check

    Dealer gave me a ballpark number of $29,400 with front loader and R4s, and can finance 0% for 84 mo. with 20% down. Not sure if I could bargain to have one or two remotes included, or if not, what a fair price would be? Thanks in advance for any feedback and/or recommendations you may have...

    Pricing a DK5510HS

    Spent some time this weekend at a few different dealers -- orange, red & green -- and was unexpectedly most impressed with the DK. Likely in the top 2 of the open station options being considered -- PROS: light weight (truck limits towing capacity), quiet engine, economy PTO...

    Buying Advice  Sold the XU5065 -- What Next?

    Background: Had a really positive experience with a XU5065CPS and the LS-branded BH for 2 years and 145 hours. No problems or repairs! It was a little big for my farm uses, but its only real sin is that it begs for bigger toys (implements) than I was willing to invest in, and needs a (more)...

    Sizing a Brush Cutter/Flail Mower for XU5065

    After cutting about 20 +/- acres with my father in-law's "seasoned" 6' brush cutter, I'm ready to make a purchase. The tractor, BTW, handled his cutter and mixed terrain pastures very well, and the 16x16 PS transmission made it easy to find a comfortable speed and make directional changes...

    Busy First Day with XU5065CPS

    Prior to delivery had the service department widen the rear wheels (should come set from factory like this -- probably easier to ship?) and weld hooks on FEL bucket... dadgum if TSC's hooks aren't within one shade of matching LS blue... the part that didn't get ground off pre-weld anyway...

    Backhoe  OEM for LS-branded LB3101 Backhoe (for XU series)?

    Hello all. Ordered a XU5065CPS with the LS BH and loader (LB3101 and LL5103) installed, and was wondering who the BH OEM is (loader OEM too if known)? Interested in adding a thumb, as well as pricing/setup if other size buckets or parts are ever needed, and most fitment guides don't list LS...
