Thanks for the great information!

I think that we are pretty used to the hydro tranny so we will probably go that route. Pretty simple to operate. Plus, my understanding is that the cruise will take care of constant speed jobs. I can definately say we will not be doing any round bales but MAY do square sometime. Part of the problem is there is a shortage of folks to come and hay ones fields on a regular basis. I am used to slinging them and we have a small elevator to get them in the barn.

For logs I am quite used to chains and hooks on my bucket and most of the log work will be lifting and placing or holding in place while fastening to a cross country jump. So I think a grapple is not needed for the FEL. They are cool though, pretty gnarly.

Cab would be nice but not a necessity. It's pretty windy here so a blade will work pretty well instead of a blower.

I have never used a flail mower and understand that they can do a pretty good job on grass that is 2 feet and less and where there may be rocks. True? We grow some good rocks here. At least I always seem to find them with the rotary mower.

I am leaning towards the 4720 today with the 400xldr and either the 390 flail or the mx7 rotary cutter. price quoted was 29,775 with the FEL, cruise, loaded tires, chain hooks, bolt on blade for the bucket, delivered and full of fuel. mowers would be extra. Is that a competitive price?

5225 was too fancy for me.

Thanks again,

Barton

Thank you all for your suggestions. I agree that the dealer really makes the difference. I also don't mind going a little bigger for the power to choose whatever implement I might want. With all the 0% financing available it seems like a no-brainer. Should have made a decision in about two weeks and will let you all know what we decide on.

Thanks again.

I have recently had very poor service from my local dealer and I am reluctant to support them. Is there another avenue to purchase a seat, such as from the factory. I have looked at other dealer's sites as well as the Kubota site and can not find a part # for the model tractor.
