I say counter the one you like most first and move on to the second one if you like it enough to buy it..

Hey Clemsontractor,
Lol... Your post ended up costing me a lot of money.
I took the advice of several of the comments here. I called my Deere dealer this morning and told him I was on the fence and getting ready to buy a Kubota and would give him one last chance. I told him what the price was for Kubota. He came down $1000.00. Sooo... I bought a 1025R.
Price... Tractor, loader and 54" mmm, $16,000. Going to finance it for 0%/60mos., Insurance through them is $3.46/mos. (I need to evaluate the coverage)...
Hope this helps you as well.

1025 R tractor- 12,639

Loader- 3495

Purchase made, tractor delivered yesterday. I purchased the 1025R with FEL, MMM, RC, BC, and i-Match quick hitch. My wife was out driving it around last night cutting the back part of the property with one of the largest smiles you can imagine. I did realize that my ignorance got the best of me, because while I had them put fluid in the rear tires, I failed to purchase additional weights and/or a ballast box. Guess that will be the first part of my "grows" pains. Ha ha. All in all I was able to get the entire package at about 24% below MSRP.

Cheers

Pics or it didn't happen :thumbsup:

The boxblade will make a great counter weight with loaded rear tires.

Excellent idea. That should at least get me through the weekend of things to do. Now any suggestions on how to modify a bush hog box blade to work with the i-Match quick hitch?
