Hello all, I currently have a deere 4100 gear tractor w/fel. New in 2000 It has 410 hours. Its used for mucking out stalls and bush hogging the back 2 acres. I was looking at getting a new tractor because of the hydro. We just had to bury a horse and my neighbor came over with his kubota b7800 and dug the hole with his fel. Because of the hydro drive it was a fairly easy job, I could never have done it with my gear drive.After a test drive I liked it a lot. Ive finally got the 5 acres chopped down to give up the bush hog for a flail of finish mower. I'm mowing most of the acerage w/ a rider now. I looked at new kubotas, a 2620 was quoted at 14,400. The bobcat ct25 w/basic option pkg and fel is 10,700. Wow.
The deere and kubota dealers are 15 miles away and the cat dealer is 53 miles away. He's new to the tractor line and is pretty clueless. I'm waiting for the dealer to get the tractor on his lot to test drive.
I havn't had any problems with the deere, Its been a great tractor but after trying the hydro I'm hooked. I'm trading for the hydro and the live pto for mowing It'l cost me about 3 grand and I actually have the wifes blessing. am I crazy?
