1. Buy the most HP you can afford. One series bigger then you think you need, if you can swing it. Check out the 3038E if you're not looking for a cabbed tractor.
2. For me it came down to local service and parts, and that pretty much left me with JD. I would stick with JD or Kubota.
3. I kept an eye on these things for a couple years or more. They just hold their damn value so well. I bought new, with 0% interest with JD financing. Once you factor in interest buying used, and the fact I could not find a used one set up the way I wanted, it made sense to buy new.
4. Buy a dedicated zero turn mower and forget the tractor idea. Way better tool for the job. I got a 60" zero turn and I've never wanted to mow the yard with my sub compact.
5. I got prices from 2 different JD dealers and they were very comparable. I ended up buying from the one that was closer to me. And for some reason they did not require near the amount of money down as the other dealer. That was strange and I assume up to the discretion of each dealer I guess.... Leading Edge is a good place to check out.
