Well fellas, I finally did it. I was able to find a tractor that will fill the bill for my needs. You guys have been super helpful in guiding me to this purchase and I am grateful for your help. Well, here she is a 2000 JD 4300 4wd HST with 430 FEL, loaded tires, mid and rear pto, front and rear power beyond, 1400hrs, JDQA with a NH finish mower, 3pt PH digger and a 16' 10,000 GVW trailer. picked it all up for $14,500. Did a little finish mowing getting used to the new toy and all went fine. I also picked up a Bush Hog SQ600 that I hope to be testing out in the next week.

Since you now have hydraulics up front, you can get a grapple! Congrats On The purchase!

Thanks, I am now looking at a whole lot of attachments to add to the collection. But the wallet is empty!

thanks for the compliments. I want to get a BH and have the choice between a 3pt woods pto driven BH and a JD 47. Both of which are used. I would need to get the mounting kit and I believe another set of hydros to the rear for the JD 47 BH. I have one set now. Do I need a second set to run a JD 47 ?
