| We went through the same scenario last year, we had a real nice 4255 that we mowed roadsides with that we wanted to update. We were looking at 1 year old tractors the state had leased for mowing. Started out looking at a 6140 E, thinking there was money to be saved. Read a lot of reviews on this site, mainly negative on the transmissions in this tractor and just the lack of creature comforts, and the reviews were right on! we ended up buying a 6130R with the shuttle transmission, and alot of extras. The only downside is it has flange rear axles, so we put on the wide spacers and turned out the wheels to get the rear tires spread out for more stability while mowing on steep ditch banks. Also put the wide fender flares on the rear to keep the tractor cleaner. You get what you pay for. | |
