If cost is a major concern, there are a lot of used ones around with low hours. Small companies were talked into buying them and then realized they didn't have enough work to keep them busy or couldn't afford them. Most are in great shape and still under warranty. I bought my first one new. It was stolen after 1 1/2 years and I bought a used one out of Georgia with 54 hours on it for $ 8500.00 , Just something to think about.

Make sure you only buy the attchmnts you need all the time and rent the rest. I bought a tiller attchmnt 4 years ago and have used it less than ten times.
