considering Cub Cadet 3204

[Lt74]

Hello,

I am considering purchasing a Cub Cadet Gt3204 23 hp with a 48" deck 45" and a snow thrower and I was quoted $8375. This price included a hydraulic front hitch system and an option kit for a Trac-Vac. I have a Trac Vac from an Ariens. Are the hydraulic kit and Trac-Vac kit necessary? Is this a reasonable price for the New England area? Does anyone know of a better deal?

Also, if you know of a good place to sell a used Ariens 18 HP, please fill me in.

thanks,

Lt74

The price seems about right and your Ariens would help keep the sales tax down.

Lt74,

Its a good machine, you will like it !! You also got a power boost over last years model ( I have) I have pictures posted
in another thread with the 45" blower in action...
I have also posted with simple improvements which only help..
You will need Hydrolic hitch system with the blower...

Yes they are ! They come from the bigger brother Mr. 4100
and they sit side by side in the garage and get along fine !!

Thanks to all who responded. I have ordered the Cub 3204 with the 48" deck and snowblower. Now I have to sell my older Ariens.
Again Thanks
