Thanks for the howdy guys....
I've been doing the "want another tractor" thing lately, hope to find a used low hour Deere 4100, or a 4110 with hydrostatic trans with a FEL.. of course it would have to be the right $$.
I can dream can't I?I need something to groom a riding arena, the 2305, or 4100 size would be perfect. My L35 is too big and clumsy.. well it wasn't designed for those duties.. heck of a digger though.
Woulda' bought a Deere 110TLB but the price at the time wasn't helpful. The extra $9k went to other needs.:grin:

The 4110 is a great machine, not that I am biased or anything!I've been doing the "want another tractor" thing lately, hope to find a used low hour Deere 4100, or a 4110 with hydrostatic trans with a FEL.. of course it would have to be the right $$.

2008 I think. I do love it too. The 770 wasn't enough machine to handle the jobs.. Although I looked at several 33-40 hp machines, I could afford the L35 and it's capabilities were impressive. Paying cash meant buying new I'd take too big a depreciation hit..so used meant more for the money. Besides I was surely gonna work whatever I bought into a used state pretty much immediately. Rocks and stumps are hard on machines :hi:
Should I sell, the Kubota resale value is right up there (almost) with Deere.

How about something like this (with a thumb of course)..
The town maintenance department near my work has one that drives by me almost everyday, it looks like a good size for a few years, then I could downsize.Attachments
