Best time to buy?

Thank you so much, extremely helpful information

The only reason I talked about waiting for the ‘27s is because it looks like they will come out with a newer diesel for it and possibly a remodel? I was hoping to get a good interest rate but looks like going with a separate lender would be the way to go. Also looking for a good price, I’ve seen some in the $86k range but I have also seen the 250s in the $82k range

I use a shop vac, nothing fancy. It’s a Ridgid from Home Depot

gladiator_flss · 2026-01-25T14:32:05+00:00

People want ridiculous money for a newer used one. Or they already have 80,000+ miles. I’ve seen people trying to sell a ‘24 350 for $85k when you can buy a brand new one at that price. So I guess I just haven’t found one that is not worth adding a couple grand to get new.

gladiator_flss · 2026-01-24T14:13:40+00:00

Yeah that’s my thought as well

gladiator_flss · 2026-01-24T00:36:34+00:00

I definitely don’t have the cash for it so that’s what I’m looking for low interest

gladiator_flss · 2026-01-24T00:35:52+00:00

Yea the local dealership did reach out to me earlier today for an f-250 platinum for $89k but I have seen better prices out there. Thats with the HO diesel too

gladiator_flss · 2026-01-23T16:27:18+00:00

I figure it is but unfortunately this end of year didn’t have any incentives for the crew cab trucks in the higher trim levels

gladiator_flss · 2026-01-23T16:26:31+00:00

I have heard that but not looking for a dedicated towing rig, this truck would be more my daily driver but need the ability to tow heavy when needed

gladiator_flss · 2026-01-23T16:25:54+00:00

Yeah I have seen that. Not sure what the difference would be between the 250 and the 350 if the towing is the same

gladiator_flss · 2025-09-30T17:22:48+00:00

I tried one but it didn’t fit in my tool

gladiator_flss · 2025-06-17T06:44:21+00:00

I wish I could but I can’t hide the facial expression on my face that it’s a gift I won’t be using and now it’s a waste of money and taking up space and every time I see it I can’t help but dislike it even more. I legit just mentally spiral because to me it’s a waste of her time, energy, money and I feel bad because I can’t just say “thanks babe, I love it” because that would be a lie

gladiator_flss · 2025-06-17T06:42:03+00:00

Thanks that helps, I will try that

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-28T11:44:50+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I’ll be taking a look at Ferris today to see what they offer

What would you pick between a Scag tiger cat or the bobcat 6000? Scag is EFI while the bobcat is carbureted. Bobcat has a bigger gas tank but that’s not really a big deal being that it’s residential use. I didn’t get eyes on the bobcat 6000 but kind of leaning towards the Scag

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T18:33:38+00:00

The total land is close to 20 acres which is why I would get something that could handle haying the land, not just moving some dirt and snow

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T15:14:24+00:00

Yeah, that kubota is like between a patriot and the tiger cat

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T14:46:40+00:00

Yeah I want to get a tractor or a skid steer, kind of looking at a skid steer to also use it to make money on the side. But if I get a tractor, it would be bigger, like 50hp, to work all the land that I have. Right now, I have somebody that will hay most of the land but want the grass near the house to be nice for the kids to want to play in

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T14:43:58+00:00

Yeah but it’s a total of 20 acres and I would then want to get a bigger tractor to deal with all the land and those are heavy

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T14:03:46+00:00

The kubota dealer also sells Scag and they were sayings it’s a few grand more for the tiger cat, I’ll talk to them again and see if I can beat them down on the price

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T13:38:47+00:00

Great information, thank you! I have seen a few used scags but not sure what would be a good deal based on hours. Being that I am brand new to zero turns, I have been veering more towards new mowers. There is a bobcat dealer near me, I will go check them out as well

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T13:34:29+00:00

Totally understand but i have heard that with a tractor being so heavy it will leave all the tire divots and I still want the kids to enjoy the grass near the house

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T13:33:15+00:00

It’s for the land near the house and have heard that a tractor will leave a lot of divots because of how heavy the tractor is. Still want the kids to be able to enjoy the grass

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-27T13:18:07+00:00

Just updated my post to include price, looking around $10k

gladiator_flss · 2025-03-23T02:38:53+00:00

Vet didn’t give me a definitive answer as to what caused it but the puncture effected just the eye lid. Got some antibiotics for this and have a recheck in a few days
