i own approx. 5 acres and will be mowing around 3 acres of it...i tried all the units out last fall and liked the john deere the best when mowing...the massey was second...<br>
<br>
well its time to buy and i'm faced with a decision...i can get the massey with the mmm and loader for $11,825 it is a 2005 model...i can get the jd 2305 for $11,900 w/ just the mmm...i have talked to several people and they tell me that you will only use the loader for about a year...then it will sit in storage after the jobs are finished...<br>
<br>
what are some oppinions?

that sounds like a great price...i will be looking at 13600 + tax at my local jd dealer...i would definitely be willing to travel to save approx. 1500 dollars...i'm pretty sure i am going to go with the deere...but the bx2230 can be bought with a loader and 60" deck for about 11800.where is this dealer you are talking about?

i am getting ready to purchase a 2305 i am just trying to decide which blade to get...there is about a 900.00 difference w/ the front blade being more expensive...i will pay the extra money if needed but want to see if it is neccesary...will a rear blade do the job just as well?
