Am getting closer to making my purchase decision. Started looking for a cheap "grey" and have gone up through the ranks and
am now close to a decision on a JD 4600. I was torn between Kubota and JD but my wife likes the greens (lived in Iowa for 5
years). The JD dealer seems pretty good and is the closest one to me. The only other dealer is sells Longs and Landtrac's and
I haven't been able to trust him.
Prices quoted:
4600 with PowrReverser,R4's loaded with antifreeze = $18,600
460 Loader = $3,400
add the fork blades = $790
74" Tiller = $1795 (not JD, Bush Hog brand I think)
2 Bottom Plow = $475 unknown brand
Rear Scrape Blade = $700 (not JD Bush Hog brand I think)
5' Bush Hog Brand Rotary Cutter = $890
Canopy = $375 (my wife likes this)
Total (with tax) $27,290.25
He showed us a 4 in one Bucket but didn't push it. Said the added cost was also in the extra hydraulics needed to operate it.
Didn't recomend hst in this size tractor but stated it was his bias.
Also said he does recomend them in smaller models used mostly for mowing.
Indicated saving only a couple of bucks on the 4500 didn't make it worth it.
Since this is my first tractor (after a "lawn and garden" fiasco) purchase I am a bit nervous about making the right decision.
Peoples who opinion I trust ( 2 Uncles with a lot more farming experience) kept telling me to get a bigger tractor. So I now
think I'm at the right size.
I would appreciate any opinions about this set-up and my dealers advice.
Thanks
David
