[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3710975, member: 5412"] 25HP tractors are considered sub-compact. Really light weight and while they can do a lot, they can't compete with a compact size in the 35hp size or larger. In my search for a compact model I looked at Massy Ferguson. The difference between a 30 hp and a 35 hp was about a thousand dollars. Upon research, both had the same engine, same weight, same everything. The only difference was the engine RPM. The 30 HP model was 250 rpm slower. It appears the marketing people just raise the RPM to generate the extra 5 hp and tack on a grand. If the OP has to buy new, always look at what a rear hydraulic system costs. It's included on Mahindra, and about a grand on New Holland, Kubota and the rest of the offerings. Look at the total weight of the tractor. Heavier means it can perform more work. [/QUOTE]
