Only issue is that Joe Homeowner also thinks that since he didn't put any hours on his Kubota that he can sell it for $500 less than he paid for it 5 years ago. Now, they hold their value, but not that good....
I can't imagine at your age and the condition of your yard that you would use a tractor "hard". You might use it often, but not hard. Your not trekking the woods hauling logs. Your not scooping cow sh!t out of the barn, then using a manure spreader across a field.... I mean, your just using it for yard work. You can't be that "hard" on a tractor. Unless you bought some property and plan to use it as a dozer to clear a spot for a house.... In which case we need to talk because then you need a backhoe, not a SCUT, LOL. 
I think you'd like the Kubota. Just shell out the cash and get one. |
Your right about my heavy use VS you guys heavy use.

Lol, I live in a neighborhood where all the lawns look like they would fit on the cover of Homes and Gardens. It takes more work than some of you guys will ever know. I just came in from working on that damn lawn and I am soaking wet with sweat. Maybe I should start thinking about scaling down?
I mean, at 62, I would hate to have anymore health issues and have to pay someone to do this. But the Wife says no so I want a bigger tractor!
OH, I forgot about my neighbor down the street. If I get a shinny new Kubota, he will also.
