DGT6000_OWNER…
I know what you mean. I have a GT5000, purchased in 2003 and later
bought a 1975 John Deere 300 this winter. I could see the differences
between the JD and Sears tractors but I wasn’t really impressed by them.
After reading all the Sears bashing and John Deere reverence on the other
forum, I expected to see HUGE differences in the two tractors. The truth is
after I got the JD 300, I actually had more respect for the value represented
by the GT5000.
But this spring I bought a (1967 – 1969 ?) Bolens 1250 and was in awe, when
I really looked at how the tractor was built. Talk about a tank, this thing deserves
to be called a tractor. I loved it so much, I recently bought an HT-23.
