Handy little tractor and the AC and Heat were really nice. I miss the hydrostatic drive the most out of everything though. I wasn't impressed with the lifting capabilities of it, struggled with anything heavy and just wasn't enough for what i wanted. When it came time for the family to divide everything up and sell, I couldn't justify paying the $28,000 it appraised at with snow blower so i bought the old john deere 4320 with loader and snow blower for $12,000 and picked up a 1980's JD 1050 with loader for $8,000. I use the 1050 on the small 3 point equipment like tiller and mowers. The 4320 i used for the heavy lifting and for planting larger food plots and pulling slightly larger implements. I also picked up the families old farmall H for $300 (needs new tires) and a farmall M for $750. The M sat for a lot of years but a new battery and fresh gas and she fired right up. Put new front tires on it and changed oil and the kids have been driving it around the farm and it's ready for work for another 70 years hopefully. For less than the cost of the bobcat i was able to buy all the attachments and 4 tractors. Might not have all the comforts and fancy things but I have everything i need covered.</p></blockquote><p></p>
