well, i haven't really started "dealing" yet but one quote i have has the 2410 about 2,000 higher.

Phew, I was hoping you wouldn't come back with $500 to $1000 because then I would really be second guessing my decision to go with the 7500. That position control sounds real handy but I was already stretching to get the 7500. Lots of luck with your purchase decision...that's half the fun!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

can it mow 5-6 acres many times every summer for twenty years

When buying it is useful to consider what size implements you need to do your primary jobs, and then figure out what tractor can efficiently handle those implements. Mowing will clearly be your biggest ongoing need. With this much acreage to mow, I dont think you will be happy with a 4' mower after spending $15,000 on a tractor. If this is all finish mowing, you will want a 72" mower. If it is brushcutting, you dont want less than a 60" cutter.

A 2710 or 2910 will easily handle these size mowers and everything else you mention. I finish mow 3 acres with a 72" mmm and brush cut about 4 acres with a 60" medium duty shredder with a 2910. I wouldnt want to do it with smaller mowers or a smaller tractor. I could be wrong, but I have had the impression that GlueGuy doesnt do too much mowing on his mountaintop.

I'll leave it to others to comment on whether the 2410 or 7500 can handle these size mowers.

Nor is any knowledge whatsoever about tractors. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Or anything else for that matter/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I am living "posting" testimony of this little known fact./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Baldguy,
I'm with Glenn on this one. Thats alot of work for a small tractor. I would step up to a B27-2910, you won't regret it. Carver has some used B2710's for sale that might sweeten the deal on stepping up a few sizes.
