Do you need all of these attachments? Which ones do you want and/or need? What brand and model are the attachments?

If you have not already done so, you should price out a 3320 or 3520 with the attachments you want. Get at least 2 or 3 numbers from local dealers.

With only the attachments you need, you may find that new is pretty close to this number when you take into consideration the JD financing options and the fact that it is new.

With that said, it seems like a good deal. You can also sell any of the attachments you already have or don't need to bring down this price even further. If I would have found a similar deal before I bought mine, there is a good chance I would have went for it.

In terms of joining, I believe you just did. Welcome aboard.

thanks for the opinion. think we might have to buy this and sell the attachments we don't need....don't think we need both a flail and rotary mower!

What are you going to be using the tractor for?

I think it is an excellant deal!

If you are going into brush with it, getting the skid plate group is a great idea!

If the rotary doesn't already heve it, considerr getting a slip ctutch.

we have a 100 acre ranch in no. cal-need it for scraping roads, moving gravel, mowing fields, building fences (still need a post hole digger) ripping brush, etc.

By rotary mower, I assume they mean rotary cutter? If that is the case, you will definitely want to keep the rotary cutter. If you plan to do finish mowing, I would try the flail mower but you may want to trade it for a finish mower. With a finish mower, you could move up to a 6' or even 7' cut.

I am a dealer in Nor. Cal and have a very good customer that just sold the same package with a few minor differences...he sold to a gentleman in Oregon the whole package for 23K...I think 20K is a good deal..if you want something new with warranty drop me a line.
