Hello all,
My husband and I are quickly approaching the closing date of our new home on 17 acres! Mostly wooded and about 4-6ish acres that will need mowing. Last time hubby and I bought a mower, it was a 16 push reel mower. So, we are definitely out of our element when it comes to a real tractor. We went to the MF dealer the other day and was quoted $17201 for the 0% 84 months including 60 drive over deck and FEL and industrial tires or $15222 at 5.49% 84monthsfor the 1705. I will add that the dealer is conveniently 10 miles up the road. Having not found this website prior to going into the dealer, no negotiations took place. We haven稚 signed up for anything yet but I知 wondering A) does that sound like a good price and B) should we be asking for anything else. Or should we consider getting the 1710 or 1715. As of now our basic need will be grass cutting and snow removal.
I have spent the last serval hours reading through the forum to take in and learn as much as I can but I知 quiet literally starting at 0 with my tractor knowledge. And dear hubby is even further behind than me
We live in the buffalo area so we will be looking to get a snow blower but I do have concerns as our driveway does have a steep incline as well as being gravel. I have heard the term block heater? Is that something I am going to want?
Any insight/tips would be greatly appreciated
