Gday Guys,
looking to upgrade my New Holland C175 it has been a great reliable machine but its a little under nourished, so Im chasing a replacement to better suit the steep country I work in and mow. How ever I want to stay in the same medium size chassis, and not more than 6' wide. So I'm looking at either the Case TR270, New Holland C227 or the Cat 259D all 3 are $77K with air cab and the normal options with a brief chat Ive got the Case and N/H dealers down to $66,500 still waiting to here from the Cat dealer.
I guess Im looking for some long term ownership experience/info, whats good, whats bad, reliability, etc. All 3 dealers are rubbish for after sales service, however Warrantee Case/New Holland offer 3 yr/ 3000hr, Cat offer 1yr.
So whats the feeling out there??
Cheers John
