I recently closed on a house this Friday and it has 2 acres of light rolling yard. I don't think I want to be mowing this for very long with my 22" push mower. So I've been lurking on here and at my local Kubota dealership, which is conviently 5 miles from my new residence. So far the best price he will quote me is $12,700 plus tax with the 211 loader and 60" deck. My primary use for this little orange peel will be mowing and snow removal. Seeing that the drive is gravel and 140' I would like a snowblower, but could probably suffice with the loader for now. Is this in the ballpark for my area or would I be better off driving around the state to compare? I know service will always be a selling point but just starting off with this being my first house, I wouldn't mind buying used either but he doesn't have anything as of yet. Basically I'm in the same boat as everyone else, just trying to get the most bang for my thin dime. Case in point, I havn't committed to the membership fee yet, so I can't read the long messages like this one! Thanks for any info you guys can provide me with. Oh the name of the dealership is Capitol Equipment in Dewitt Michigan if that helps with regional price comparisons. Thanks, Brett

Thanks for the post and link to the site Chief. I found out I have either the 740 or 840 model. When I purchased it, it was painted over and there wasn't any visible marks to identify it. I've since removed the paint and coated the entire body of the mount with rattle can sprayliner from Duplicolor. It's more durable than spraypaint, and I don't have access to a powercoat machine. Also, it's about $7 a can and can be bought at AutoZone, Meijer, Walmart ect... I use it more often than paint and if things get scratched, just a quick touch up and you can't even tell it was retouched, great stuff. I even used it on my nerfbars on my truck and they look great, no rust anymore! Thanks again for the info, this site and it's members are a tremendous help!
