I definitely need the tractor and trailer, don't necessarily need the bushhog. Going to see if I can swap that for a grapple or tiller.

Is this a decent deal though, they are offering 84 months 0% through Kubota.

I'd go witha 28hp or higher. The pto for that tractor is 19-20. Really needs a 4ft bush hog. Rule of thumb is pto hp is 5 less than engine hp.

Ive a Kubota L2800. It handles a 5 ft bush hog easily. Plenty of power.

You won’t go wrong with purchasing that setup.

Just keep in mind…. It’s not 0% interest, they just jack the price up to make up the difference. And make sure you buy insurance from the dealership. So don’t pay the machine off early cause if you do you don’t have that cheap replacement insurance any more.

Kind of why I'm asking if it's a good deal. Didn't know if that price was high or not.

I think it’s a good deal.I paid $30,000 cash with tax 2 years ago for a 2501 gear/ shuttle shift,box blade,fel and grapple.Already had a trailer.

It handles a 5 ft bushhog ok but I don’t have a lot of heavy cutting to do,mostly medium to light primarily grass,few small saplings that pop up.

The grapple is one of the best purchases of my life.I regret not getting one sooner.

You could get a lot more tractor for that price and find used attachments

That is a good deal. I paid a little more than that earlier this year for L2502 HST 4x4 package. I upgraded to the RCR1860 rotary cutter. The tractor handles the cutter just fine on hills and thick brush.

I recommend the grapple. It is very useful and fun to use.

They gave me a $2,000 rebate for paying cash. No sales tax in Tennessee with agriculture exemption.

You will need the 3rd function valve if you add the grapple. Probably looking at another 2500-3k to add that and a grapple. Mine was 3k in 2020.
