[QUOTE="Chaparral, post: 3711082, member: 49817"] A 40+ HP tractor is preferable. The tractor you are looking at should be a fine tractor but it is rather small. Kubota is a very good brand. You can also throw LS into your search. Can you do mechanical work? An older tractor could be a good buy. Must have is a front end loader. Bucket and forks. I use a rear hay fork mostly as lifting larger bales with the front can make the rear very unstable. I have an old mower in great condition which also acts as a counterweight. Mine is small at 60 HP. Cut and bale hay with it and mow. How many acres do you really have to mow? Animals? If you are only maintaining 15 or less acres of lawn then a commercial zero turn mower will be very good and easier to use. That is how we did the 10 acre horse pasture, easier and less damaging to the ground. HST is supposed to be a nice transmission but I have never used one for work. All I have experience with is the old fashioned clutch. [/QUOTE]
