[QUOTE="trickydick, post: 1468432, member: 12214"] About 5 years ago I checked out most of the tractors and due to not having a Mahindra dealer in this area I didn't get to look at them, from what I saw I purchased a JD 790 27hp 4wd tractor with the front end loader, a LX6 brushhog and a hard canopy on the top, the tractor was 11k and the front loader was 2500, and the mower was 3k the canopy was only about 300 and worth every penny. Looking back this was about the best purchase I could have made, the only thing I should have done different was to purchase the trailer and belly mower at the same time. Unfortunatly they dont make the kit to attach the belly mower to my tractor anymore so that option is out the window. JD's LX6 brushhog is a very heavy and well built deck(it has the slip clutch vs the shear pin and the chains front and rear vs the rubber, so it's DOT appoved for mowing road ways) the only other brand that is built this well is the actual Bush Hog brand and they would have only saved me about $500. I have a case dealer about a mile from my house and their about out of business because they thing everything they have is made of gold. The local New Holland dealer in lawton which used to also carry Kubota was a major A-hole and ran off most of his business(he also lost the Kubota brand which was restarted by someone else in Duncan. BTW New Holland and Case and IH are all made by the same parent company. The Cub Cadets that I looked at were built like big lawn mowers with kinda a layered c-chanell frame which I didn't care for. You would really have to work a tractor almost daily to truly need hydro static drive or the shuttle shift, for just your own lawn and a bit of dirt work the standard tranny is just fine. On most of the tractor in this HP range power steering is optional, but it comes strandard with the 4wd(this is very handy). If you live around OKC Cat has small tractors in this range and might also be an option. I hope some of this help ya. [/QUOTE]
