Currently and for the last 12years, I have been maintaining my 70 ac.(mix of fields and woods) with my second hand JD 770,4wheel drive and FEL. I do my food plots with a 5'disc and a 4'tiller, maintain my garden, and fence work with PHD. Have a 3pt seeder, bottom plow and hiller. Once in a while use the boxblade. Bush hogging is done with a 4 footer(I know), about 20ac. Use the 5' finish mower around the house. I have really enjoyed my "seat time".
I have been looking to upgrade to something around 35-40hp and a 6' bush hog. Used tractors around me seem few and far between and go for high dollar. Are the older (5-10yrs) that much better than the new ones? What would you get/stay away from??? I don't mind purchasing new as long as it's as reliable as the 770. Gears are fine with me.
My son just purchased a 32ac property and could use the 770. So, time to do something.
Thanks, Kenny
