I currently have a deere 455 riding mower of the 60 inch deck and it痴 time to get something bigger. Last year I bought a 72 inch finish mower to pull behind my Kubota compact tractor and I really wasn稚 very happy with it. That was far too big with the loader up front and the mower out back. Everyone says I should just buy a zero turn but I love sitting up on the tractor and I want to be comfortable. Bigger tires and better suspension on the tractor would also help a lot. I can currently mow about 1 1/2 acres per hour and it takes about four hours to finish. I壇 like to get it down to about 2 1/2.
I致e been looking for something to trade my L 3400 in on but for the most part that痴 a pretty expensive proposition to get something decent with a loader and a belly mower. It looks like some of the new 3R series would do it but that痴 a lot of expense and complexity for me.
I found a 2003 model 4310 with a 72 inch mower that I知 considering. At 700 hours And the guy is asking $6500. It痴 2 Wheel Drive with turf tires. I致e never moved with anything like this so I知 a little bit hesitant to pull the trigger. It would Basically live with the mower on it and not do anything else except maybe pull a brush hog or box blade every once in a while. It痴 a gear tractor, not a hydrostat.
Looking for some advice from the folks on here if I知 on the right track.
