Almost out of Warranty. Should I trade up?

[Diggin It]

Warranty drops off in September. Not sure I want to be out fo warranty. Is trading up something to consider? What's the next model in line?

Must have BH and MMM and be able to use both at the same time, just as I can now.

My John Deere X545 is 10 years old and the 30 HP Kubota L3010 is 23 years old. Both in good condition. Never used a warranty. Wonder if my John Deere A (built in 1952) is still under warranty?

Sounds like someone is looking for an excuse to get a new tractor. Do you think your wife will buy that story?

Please post a video showing how you mow and dig simultaneously. Then explain why.

I've never been a big warranty fan. Sure I've used a warranty in the past but I've never bought an extended warranty. I believe if you do your research you can buy a tractor or a truck or car or dishwasher that will last without repairs.
I've owned 5 tractors by 4 different manufactures over 30 yrs without a major repair. Part of that comes from knowing how to use and care for them. I chose MF, Terex, Bobcat, CAT, and Kubota.
My opinion is if you got $ to spend and you want a new tractor or you need a bigger tractor go get one. Otherwise you are better off using and caring for what you got.

The point is that you can mount the BH and do a quick dig job without having to remove the MMM, which is a bit more complicated.

Most machines require removing the BH subframe to mount the MMM. This one does not.

Price a new replacement and then decide if it is worth it to you to spend your money.

Exactly what @scootr said. I'd be broke if I traded in everything when the warranty expires. It's nice to have that safety net, and have a new tractor every 5-6 years. but is it worth it?

Take care of your tractor and it will last. Things happen, things wear out and break, but don't go trading in your old for new just for the warranty. The warranty is to cover manufacture defects, not life long wear and tear.

Yes you definitely should help boost the economy by buying a new tractor with a warranty.
