Got an old 3000 3cylinder gas, 4 speed, trans driven pto with power steering. Do a lot of bush hogging in the woods, and the 4 speed is just too fast. Slowest I can go is 3mph at rated pto speed in 1st, very scary when trying to maneuver around trees and such, plus the pto stops every time I have to stop (again thanks to the trans pto). I've got a really good deal on a mechanically sound JD 950 4wd. Its yanmar diesel which I've heard and read is very reliable a d sips fuel (siping fuel is foreign to the gasses in the 3000). The only down fall is it doesn't have power steering. I do not have and FEL (would like to possibly find one in the future, would only be lite work) The 950 is a 2 stage clutch, which fixes the having to stop pto all the time, and the lowest speed it will go is 0.8mph while at rated PTO speed. That's a huge positive! The caveat is, wife says if I get the deere, I have to then put the ole ford up for sale. What are yalls opinions, and maybe pros and cons. Again, the deere is in good mechanical shape,o ly small not worried about leaks/drips, is well used and dont remember the hours, The Ford is also relatively inexpensive to get parts for, and so far easy to work on. I am very mechanically able and would do all work, repairs and maintenance.
