I'm trying to find a reasonable priced tractor for use around a 20-acre vineyard in Minnesota. Primary uses would be mowing grass, moving compost piles around, and ideally running an auger and/or post-pounder. Any suggestions?

A massey ferguson 230 or 235 would work very nice . You need a tractor with auxillary hydralics to run your pounder.Older fords dont have this option.

All comes down to how much you want to spend. An IH Model H or a 300 utility is a good general use one or maybe a Ford 800 if you don't want to spend a ton of cash. But if you can afford it you might want a newer 4wd 30 hp-plus with a loader. As far as that goes, I'd shop around and go with what feels best and who has the best dealer support around you. I run older cheaper ones and I'm happy but I don't run them 10 hrs a day.

Yes, we have a quite a few vineyards and wineries in Minnesota. In fact, I'm willing to part with a case or two of 100% Minnesota wine if helps get a deal on a tractor...

Are you aware of the vineyard special tractors which have been built especially for vineyards ?
They are very narrow and have shielding around the wheels in order to prevent damage to the vines and trees. In vineyard and orchard areas here in Ontario , these models (used) are fairly reasonable because of their limited use.

Yes, I have seen vineyard-specific tractors, but that is not what I need. I'm just looking for a general purpose farm tractor - just trying to get some free advice.
