    Default JD Gators

    A friend of mine picked up one of these the other day, and I think he's having to much fun with it. Looks like an activiity that requires 2 or more. I think in the future one of these might be a nice plow vehicle for the winter, and toy the rest of the time!

    Ya , i bet there a blast. that is if you got about 11 grand you dont need..

    I dont know how good it would be for pushing snow. I saw on utube a JD X595 drag the big XUV backwards in a pulling contest.....

    So just what do think a 2520 would do.....
    but it would be alot of fun to play with.

    My thought is that in years to come, I'll downsize. Using whatever I currently have as trade, I think a combo like the 2305 and a Gator would be perfect for the retirement gardening/landscaping needs.

    I've been keeping my eyes open for a decent (price and condition) diesel 6x4 gator. I think that would supplant my property management needs quite nicely.

    I hear ya gunmaker. My buddy up the street has a Rhino he uses as a "commuter vehicle" from the house down to the horse stables, hauling tools and such. He gets a lot of use out of it.

    When we were in Nebraska at some friends of the family's farm, their ATV got more use than anything else. Fetching things, gonig out to open pasture gates, etc.

    Wait til my wife hears this one, get rid of the Ford GT75, but, grab an RTV! hahahaha!
    Kubota BX2350 and more attachments than I have sense to operate.

    Now we are talking about down sizeing. last week you wanted a 3320. i want to go bigger.
    most likely a L39 or maybe a 110 . if i want dig it or move it. i want to be able to. if i dont need it. it ant eating anything sitting in the garage.
    but when i need to pick up something that weighs 2500 or 3000 pounds.
    i can do it. and i wont ever haft to say i need a bigger Hoe...
    and i will always have my GX for grass cutting. so Tractor size dont matter.

    Your right Paul hands down the tool cat is much more versatile. But it comes with a steep price tag I would imagine. But yeah, you can do many things with a tool cat, very cool indeed

    Well Chris...I'm still looking into the 3320 in the spring, but the missis is a pretty sharp gal, and I gotta plan ahead by a decade or so to keep in front of her. So if I can get bigger toys now, that'll be worth more later, it'll be easier to negotiate with her for the new toys later!
