I have been looking at this exact model this week at the dealers.......how did you like it? So it has a front PTO for the broom? Thanks. If you were closer I'd bid.....

Nice machine. Don't think I've ever said this before, but price seems to be on the low side.

Same. Bump for a sweet mower. If I had sold my mower I'd buy this thing in a heartbeat!!

To run the front mounted power attachments you need the front quik hitch (what they call it) and the pto shaft and hydraulic hoses. All that runs roughly $800 by the time your done. Once you have it, you can run a broom, snowblower, front blade, etc. I love this tractor, ive been impressed at what they can do only being 24hp; wish I could keep it along with buy a bigger one but not happening!

Yeah, a new 1026R which is the comparable model now from Deere is almost $17K for just the loader, mower, and tractor and they have kinda made them cheap! This will make an awesome setup for someone!
