Dear Brian, based on my experience with Cub Cadet products I will say, at first glance, a great deal! Now I'll play "devil's advocate," and ask some tough questions. Most important, why is this much equipment for sale? Next, who is selling it, private or dealer? Do you know that its factory warranty is not transferable (it isn't)? Is the seller offering a warranty, and for how many hours/days? Do you know that MTD, the parent corporation has started moving away from the Mitsubishi designed and built 7000 series tractors (the 7305 is one) in favor of what I see is a much poorer American made machine? This may have an impact on MTD's desire to support the Japanese imports, then it may not, but it is worth thinking about. If you really like what you see, have an experienced compact tractor mechanic look it over. Make friends with a Cub Dealer.
A little correction to the ad, the 7305, like the 7275 before it, has a three speed gear box: high, mid, and low ranges. Not two as stated. Yes it may have two PTO's, mid and rear, and the mid was an option on that model. The tractor itself is an absolute gem, beautiful design and very reliable. The early Model 417 loader was much stronger than the 476 and was sold with a heavier gage bucket, it was also easier to take on and off. I don't like the 476. If the backhoe is the new 408 then it is a much better unit than the early 407. It is a very easy tractor to perform routine maintenance on, dreadful to do major surgery on because of the factory tools required.
To me, if all is in order, there ain't a heck of a lot of difference in the Cub's ability to do work and the JD's. Do you like yellow and white, or green? They are both swiss army knifes of the small tractor world. Good luck. Need to know more? I visit here often, just ask and we all will try to help. ....
