[QUOTE="Allen, post: 339930, member: 389"] Along the line of what SLE mentioned, I would strongly encourage a person to buy a "gently used" JD or Kubota. I run a 2006 JD 4120, it's 43 hp, but you can get the same frame with up to 70(?) hp. It's been all I need for running a 7 ft tiller, bushwhacker, dirt and snow moving, pallet forks, tree removal, etc. Neighbor has a slightly smaller Kubota that's only a couple years old, I spent some serious time in it last year spraying weeds at both of our places. It's nice with really good ergonomics, but the fit of some of the cab stuff seemed to leave me a little wanting. Stuff like the cab insulation was pulling out from under the trim, etc for no particular reason. But the operator's station was comfy and had a decent radio and AC unit. I get it, it's a pretty good sized investment, so you want to get it right. But things like my JD with only 1,000 hrs on it are available and that means the major components should last me a lifetime. I think I bought mine for just under $20k in Minnetucky with around 900 hrs back in 2013. Doesn't have a cab though, but they are out there. I would start by looking at TractorHouse.com for what's available in a reasonable commute. You can rent a trailer for a couple hundred bucks to go pick something up. [/QUOTE]
