I have a 2012 1026R with H210 FEL that just turned 100 hrs. It has been meticulously maintained and garage kept.
I'm paying down the original purchase price for the 1026 plus the X310 I bought 0/60 for finish cut since a lot of the 3 acres I cut is residential with nooks and crannies
We just started seriously working on the 2 wooded acres and now I wish I had the backhoe.
I spoke to a sales rep at my dealer today and he suggested selling my tractor or trading it in on a 1025 with the loader and backhoe.
Of course, we're presuming another 0/60 deal here ---either now or in the spring --- or the numbers won't work.
I realize there is a spectrum of consideration here and I value the input of the folks on this forum --- particularly in regard to the performance/reliability of the 1025 over my tractor. I do know I would miss the "cruise control" on my tractor while using the cutter on a big hunk of the back lot.
Any other thoughts?
