Good Bye F3080 Hello ????

[JOHNTHOMAS]

Traded my F3080 to Barlows (sort of sold it to a great guy in NC). It was the one I used for mowing my flat rental property a mile past Barlows. Still have the F3080 now with 72" rear discharge deck instead of the 72" side discharge deck :cool2: :cool2: :cool2:. for mowing my 5 acres of home hillside. Still have a B2620 FEL BH with 40 hours and the RTV1140. What to replace the F3080 with? Clue, now need a mower for flat rental property. I don't mow as often as most people with "lawns", I have yards. Barlows has sold me 15 Kubotas for good prices for the past 10 yeas. Guess I'll go see Steve Barlow today and I'll return with a?

I'm sure you'll find something suitable. Good luck and have fun!

If it was doing the job, why get rid of it??? Unless you enjoy shopping that much...

Oh! I get it. It was time to change the oil! ;-)

Well you must have got a great price for the used machine, and therefore, wanted to help stimulate the economy, by now looking for a new tractor/ mower device for your needs.

if he wanted to stimulate the economy he would of kept the F3080 and went out and bought something else
:laughing:

HINT: Barlows has a F2680e 2008 model with 150 hours that was previously owned by me (for first 130 hours of its life) with a short 20 hours of ownership by another local man over the past year. It also has a near new 72" deck with 30 hours also put on by me (was on my new F3080 bought in Dec 12) plus a near new set of bar drive tires now and an extra set of original like new turf drive tires plus one extra rear tire, near new. Or for $5000 more I can order a new F2690 (coming in Oct) with 72" deck and turf tires.
So, $5000 more for new over 5 year old documented maintained (by me) 150 hour used one.
What say ye?

 

[Beltman60]

why did you get rid of it in the first place? :mur::mur::mur:

C'mon John - time to move up to an M-series, just for the experience.

Maybe an MX5100?

MX5100 with a Turf Batwing?

:shocked:Have you considered a rear finish mower? 72" Woods or LandPride with rear discharge to mow your "flat" rental property.
