[AJD] John Deere 650

[Kenneth Jones]

Lyman, 
 
        WOW !!   Your post prompted me to dig out the sales invoice for my 650.  Bought it on June 23, 1981 and gave  the dealer a check for $3,947.97 plus my JD 316 with mower and front snow plow which I paid $ 2689.00 three years prior.  Apparently that 650 was a good investment, apparently, I should have kept it  !!!

The 650 John Deere with loader brought $9450.00 with sales tax.
I quit bidding at $7000.00
On the way home I stopped in at a John Deere place and found a
comparable new tractor for a little over $12000.00
Both looked a little small for my purpose, am thinking I'll try to get a
790 with a 419 loader, priced at 15,700. Might as well go for it, will
sell at least two of my G's to help finance it.
Quite frankly I was shocked to see it bring that much.
Am glad now that my bid of $7000.00 wasn't enough.

Well, I found a rarely used Woods RM550 this evening and bought it for a
decent price. I was told it had less than 10 hours on it and it looks
like
it.

We've had over 8" of rain this week with more due next week, so I won't
be
able to use it until the yard dries out to know that the 650 will handle
it
OK. But as I was shopping around for new ones this week, all the
dealers
agreed a 5' mower should work just fine behind the 650.

Mike,

The mower had some opportunities whenever it was mounted. Since
I
had a 54" 4 way front blade for snow removal, the mower had to be
removed
each fall. The blade had a support which extended under the tractor and
attached to the drawbar. I can't remember for sure but I think that you
had
to drive over the deck with the front wheels in order to mount the
mower.
It was not easy but it worked and only had to be done twice a year so it
was
tolerated. When I traded for the 750, I went to a rear Woods mower since
I
felt that it would be easier to mount. Well It was easier to mount, but
it
was harder to manuver the mower close to flower beds, trees, ect. So
when I
moved to the 4400, I went back to the belly mount mower and I am very
happy
with it up to now. Must add that the tractor is 5 years old and the
mower
has not been off it yet.....LOL
