I've been looking at tractors since last spring. I've narrowed down my choices a bit, but still not completely sure on the brand/model.
I need to rotary cut 3 to 6 acres, and I quite like the size (and price) of the 1526.
Will also be needing a tiller and preparing lots of land for bushes and trees. Last year, I got somebody local to do about 600 ft of tilling for me, but will be doing my own from now on.
I think the 1526 is being offered with a $3500 rebate and that really puts it into an attractive price. A price that compares to some of the smaller tractors.
The one feature of the 1500 series (I think) that seems interesting, is the fact the hydro pedals control the engine speed. Not sure if that is a useful feature or not in the real world or not? I watched a dealership video and the feature seemed interesting, but maybe not useful?
I'm also interesting in the GC1700 and not ruling out the 2600.
Will have to get more serious once March comes along.
