Whats the best for us?
I've had a large lot from my family for a long time...all grass and almost 40 acres.
I'm building on it and my companion, who loves large lawns, wants a good tractor and mower to keep it nice and groomed and she's good at it.
We have a 42 inch craftsman ( WAY too small) that she says sucks and won't do it. LOL
We looked at a johndeer and a kubota both with 3 big hydraulicaly raised and lowered decks.
They are both very expensive. Which one is better and would they let me add the cost into the financing of the house I'm building as an essential piece of equipment to maintain my property?
And YES, albeit very cute and petite, she's VERY capable of handling heavy equipment! LOL
The house isn't going to be very big (2870 sq ft) and the land has a small pond that covers a little patch of it.
All things said, money is an issue...I don't want to go broke buying a tractor and mower.
I also know Kubota has one of the best track records for reliability.
Both are very good pieces of equipment. The John Deere fans are going to be more like a religious cult. The biggest question to ask yourself is how adept are you at performing repairs on the unit? If not, then go with the one that has a local dealer with a quality repair department.
As for the financing, maybe, maybe not. I am sure a local bank could come up with a creative financing package.
BTW, congrats on finding a woman who will offer to mow that big patch.
