After several weeks of research and talking to dealers I was ready to go order a new Kubota 2910 Saturday morning, I have a price of $18,300 (tax includes) for a 2910 w/FEL, 61" bucket with teeth, 5' bush hog, rear SCV and R/4 tires. I was reading my morning paper over coffee and I found an ad for a 2002 JD 790 4WD with only 82 hrs. I called and the guy was selling a package consisting of the tractor with 419 FEL, 62" tilller, 5' box scrape, 5' rear finish mower, R4 tires and a 6.5 x 18 ft. trailer for $15,000! He had bought it new to build a house and put in his lawn. The finish mower didn't work to his liking and he has little use for the tractor( lives in a subdivision). I had looked at the 790 but really liked the HST transmission over the collar shift, and my local JD dealer was going to charge me about the same thing the Kubota dealer was for the 2910. How I really wondering what to do. Is the 2910 worth the $5000 difference (considering I was going to buy a new trailer anyway) and is this a good deal on the 790? It sure looks good based on what I have seen and read on different tractor sites. I know the 2910 has a few more bells and whistles but is it worth the difference? Most of my need is for pasture mowing and some light loader work, mostly redoing some landscaping and build my wife several raised beds for her garden. Would appreciate some opinions. I had my head set on the 2910 but the money difference stopped me dead in my tracks! I don't really need or want the finish mower (I hate grass, except ia a pasture) and box scrape so I figured I could sell them for enough to buy a good rotary mower and if lucky have a little left to purchase a pto log spliter. What would you do! Pros and Cons.

I own a 1986 850 JD 2wd with 296 hrs. I want to sale this tractor and buy a new one. I have used the tractor primarily to bushhog. I need an idea of a fair asking price. I live in the northern part of Atlanta.

I have owed a 850 JD for the past 20 years and now in the market for a smaller tractor since I no longer have pastures to bushhog. I have looked at a 4115 JD 4-wd w/FEL and a 2410 Kubota 4wd w/FEL. I have had good service out of my JD but the Kubota is considerably cheaper. Will be used mainly for light grading and moving firewood. Looking for feedback pro/con on each.
