Hey guys, I am currently looking at some new to me used x7 series tractors. I am looking at getting a four wheel drive one for snow removal of me and my neighbors driveways. Also any other misc. projects I can get my hands on. I am curious how you guys like the full time four wheel drive units? Do you find they tear up lawns when making tight/sharp turns? Do they all work like the newest style with the valving built into the hydros for slowing one wheel or the other when turning? Thanks for the info.
full time 4x4 question

Okay guys so I talked to the owner of the x728. My deal seemed to good to be true. Apparently the other day when him and I were talking there was a mix up when he said 8,000 and I thought he said 7. When I asked him if he would go lower than 7 he said he couldn't do 7. I was kind of taken back when he said that. I asked him if he remembered saying he would take 7 and he said no. He said he was going to accept 8 when him and I first talked. He stated his local dealer offered him 7,400 and he turned it down. He stated if he took 7 for it he would be taking a huge loss. I said well for all the mix up and confusion would you take 7,500 for it and he accepted it.
I knew it was almost to good to be true. Would you guys do it for 7,500? It still seems like a good deal. But apparently our communication between each other isn't that great. We both seem to be on the same page now thought. I will say that as I was on the phone with him for some time today.

$7500 is a good price I think, I would go for it if I was looking for one. My dealer just gave me 9k for my tractor with a front qh, front 2k pto, mower and 3 pt for trade in and it has 220 hrs, so I think its a good price You will definitely be happy with that tractor. If you want a rear pto for it, I just happen to know where one is sitting for that exact tractor...

I am waiting to hear back from the bank to see what they can do for me. I may want a rear pto. If I could find a cheap nice harley rake for the x728 for when I am finishing my yard that would just be awesome. But I doubt it will happen.

Yeah it would be pretty cool, but cheap and harley rake are not something that usually go together. I am trading my tractor in on a 1025R and my dealer pretty much let me strip the tractor of all the add ons I installed. I bought the PTO in the summer of 2012 and installed it so I could till my garden that fall. Really a great attachment. Good luck, hopefully it is good news and you will be on your way to a new toy, erhh I mean piece of equipment!

-IMHO $7500 seems a little on the high side for a used mower with no deck or attachments. But if the dealer was gonna give $7400 it might be worth that. If I was going to borrow that kind of money I would be strongly considering a new machine at 0% financing.

He just says the dealer would give him that.
But then again, I'm kind of a skeptic.

If you subtract the cost of the 3pt hitch and the weights, probably in the $1000 range, $6,500 and no tax is pretty good deal (to me anyway), for a 20 hour machine. I wish I could have found that deal around here a year ago. JMHO.

Kind of what I was thinking.
