Hello from Capon Bridge, WV

[jlylec]

Thanks for the welcome! I've thought about a bigger tractor (a lot about a bigger tractor!). I have actually been leaning toward the RK37 with a FEL, grapple, and back hoe. I can get this for ~$31k. The Kubota MX4800HST similarly decked out is ~$41k. RK55 with all the same stuff is ~$36k. I was leaning toward a Kubota until I learned about the RK tractors and I like what I see and have read/heard about them. I may stick with the Kubota. Ugghhh...it's such a hard decision! I definitely appreciate and respect the advice. I'm sure you guys are right about going bigger earlier.

I think I've heard of that "Throne" swimming hole and I think it may actually be right near my property. It's a really beautiful and clean river. Love it here!

You are not that far from Messicks (PA dealer) and they are great to work with- the price for the 4800 sounds a bit high (has been a while since I priced one however).
Having had 7 Kubota's I will say I find they been worth the little bit extra and my resale has been GREAT!
