Looking at some initial implements/attachments for my soon to be purchased B2601. For implements that are simple or will only be used 2-3 times a year, is it worth spending the extra on nicer brands like Landpride, Fronteier, etc? Even if I get a deal on Landpride from the dealer, I doubt it will be close to the price of King Kutter from my local Fleet Farm. For a 10% difference, Ill stick with the nice stuff, for 20-40% the "cheap" stuff looks very attractive. I can use the money saved for other implements, or even to upgrade the one or two I really think need it.
I think a big part of this is many implements I would like may only be used a few times a year. Enough to make renting annoying, but I doubt they will get a lot of wear.
Initial Implements in order of priority
Rotary Mower - ~48"
Stump Bucket
Disk Harrow
Pallet Forks, or Grapple
Maybe a Rototiller
Snow Pusher (wont need it until next year at this point)
