Should I buy a John Deere Tractor?
farmhand asked:
I have a 5 acre farmette. I am looking at a 30 HP John Deere with a front loader, finish mower and snow blade. A brand new 2006 runs $22K. Should I go with a John Deere or another brand?
Also should I get the pull behind snow blade, or the one that mounts on the front loader?

Only buy the John Deere if you want the best brand out there – otherwise go with an inferior brand.
Good Luck!!!

We have 4 acres and loved ours. I would get front loader snow blade.

I’m not happy with my basic model, but it sounds like what you’re looking for is completely different — for more serious projects than what I use mine for.

John Deere has been the best farm equiment made since the internal combustion engine got invented by henry ford
front mount snow blade is probably best.

or ya could get a push mower
and a snow shovel.
then you could blow the 22K at a casino !

Sounds like a wise purchase (JD 790-?).
I would get the 3pt blade on the back, if room permits for storage, it is handy with snow removal to have the front loader and rear blade. Blade scrapes it and then the loader piles it high. It is also helpful for leveling and landscaping projects.
Check out a few people there have purchased them and have comments/etc, they may be able to help you with your decision on JD or anything else you are considering.
John Deere History
My Grandparents used nothing but Massey-Ferguson equipment on their dairy farm for decades. Never had any complaints
