Hello to all! <br>
<br>
We're about to undertake building a new home on a 14 acre site. We'd like to do some of the prep work on the land before construction and all of the continuing grounds maintenance (including a future 2 - 3 acre garden).<br>
<br>
The land: 14 total acres of which 5 is thick woods in need of thinning and some clearing. The home site is about an acre, including the home footprint.<br>
<br>
The remaining 8 acres is pasture and a couple of really old maple trees. It would make an ideal spot for a 2 or 3 acre garden.<br>
<br>
So, here's the situation... I'm leaning towards the 3320 (with cab) and the 300CX loader and a 60" BB Cutter. I'll add a finish mower after the house is built and the lawn is in. My local JD dealer has a zero hour 2006 with the 300 CX and seems eager to get it out of inventory. He tells me I can get the 3320 for "a little under $20,000 and the CX for $3,400." <br>
<br>
I know I can get the 3720 with the same equipment for another $3,800 and am questioning if the additional HP is required for my tasks and worth the extra money.<br>
<br>
I'd welcome any and all opinions.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!
