When I saw the JD 3025e's on sale for 19Kbux with loader, box blade, bushhog and trailer I picked one up. My first tractor and Im in my late 50's. I only have three acres, but I finally feel I have some control over what goes on here. Just today I moved a bunch of coquina rocks to create an erosion dam and and raised the road along our little pond with fill sand. A lot of rocks have some nice JD green paint on them.

Tomorrow I'll do a little bushhoggin..
Well, they seem to retain good resale value. That's why I went new.
