320 v 420

[Gumby542]

Ok, so in this sick hobby of tinkering with tractors, I once again am looking for an opinion.
I still have my 320 that runs great with 700 hrs. I have found a 420 with a 60" deck, and 47 snowblower. The upgrade cost would be $1000 after an offer i have on my 320. The 420 has 1200 hrs. I don't need a snowblower however. Is it worth the money to add hrs and go older, but get the bigger deck and machine?

Also, is there a cure for this "next unit" syndrome?

There is no known cure for 'Next Unit Syndrome', (NUS) only temporary relief. As for the upgrade, I can offer no advice.

My advice would be to get the 420, but don't rush into selling the 320. Then after using them both, sell what you don't want/need.

Saves the "wishing" syndrome after the fact.

Now be careful, as I now have a 425 AWS with MC519 cart, a 455 AWS just for mowing and towing, and an X485 used for spraying and for the brush (no mowing). Can't decide which one to sell.
