    Say what? It has its fair share I’d say. Now my 4640 is another story.

    Hood and fenders are all metal. Dash is plastic and gas tank but that’s really it for exposed parts.

    Do yourself a favor and go see Wendell at Wilson’s tractor in newberry and get a Kubota mx series. I researched and debated for almost 3 years but couldn’t come up with a better bang for my buck. I got the mx 5800 and it is the best valued purchase I believe I’ve ever made. And Wendell will flat destroy anyone else’s price. I have 3 buddies that have bought from him (one guy from Raleigh nc).

    And I’ll say it before Lab-luvr does, go ahead and get the 4 in 1 bucket and thank me later

    I have never dealt with Wilson Tractor beyond buying parts for a kubota trackhoe but I have heard nothing but great things about them.

    I've also had good experience with Wilson's in Newberry. That is why I asked what county Mcduckin was in.

    Easy service with great prices at Wilson's

    If you go to Blanchard in St. George, talk with Thomas Jordan. He guided me through buying my first tractor and kept me from making expensive mistakes. Get a grapple for that loader.
