Hi all, I was referred here from another forum.
My 15 yr old MTD is almost at end of life unfortunately, so im out shopping for a new Tractor/Rider
Budget is $2000-3500 Canadian
I want something to Last
It will be driven by several family members (not all of who, may be careful)
Im cutting ~3 acres
Ground is uneven, obstacles in some spots, some slopes and a very small hill, and a ditch.
I dont care about colour, style or brand, I just want quality and reliability.
Im considering Massey Ferguson, Cub Cadett, & Husquvarna since i have local deales for all 3 in the area
I believe most of these are built by other companies and re branded (Massey are built by Simplicity)
whats my best bet. ?
I bought a D140 John Deere at HD last weekend and took it back within 30 minutes for a refund. never got it off the trailer. Quailty was so poor that the deck hangers (pot metal) were all broken off when I got home (smooth road, tied properly on the trailer).
thanks for the insights, i hope my next tractor will last as long as my old MTD
Thanks in advance
