Hi All,<br>
I'm after some advice (that'll come as a surprise I know...). I have 5 acres which I currently maintain using a Fergy 35 (4 -cyl Diesel). I'm a bit sick and tired of this old Fergy being so hard to start and not really being suitable for my wife to use. As I work full time my wife is keen to do some mowing while she is at home and I am keen to encourage this! I am looking at a B8200HST (Orange) which is the first Kubota machine I have looked at and am thinking of buying it. It has the Hydrostatic and is a 4WD. The dealer reckons it has 2000 - 3000 hours on it but reckons it is hard to tell as once they over 999 you cant tell (does this sound right?). I do trust this dealer and they have a good name. The machine has 4 good Turf tyres and a roll bar. It is in average condition (paint and panelwork) but seems to start and run well (no smoke) and the dealer will fully service the machine if I do purchase. I will use it for mowing (4ft pto mower) working a 6ft blade and maybe some spraying work (3ptl mounted tank with hoses). Our property is 70% flat and the balance rolling. The price is $NZ8700 which I think equates to $US5200.<br>
Do you reckon this machine would suit my purpose, does this model have a good reputation and does the price sound like its in the right ballpark? <br>
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Is a B8200 right for me
