I looked at few of the responses and they are very correct. Statement A: Would you rather have a 25HP cub cadet mowing tractor that weighs 700 lbs. OR-- a 25 HP New Holland Diesel that weighs 1700 lbs. It also comes down to gearing/engine RPMs, Those garden tractors are rated at 3600RPM, the Compact diesels are rated at 2600 RPM, with Waaay more engine torque.
It all comes down to Torque and Weight. If you are a super tough guy that that can bench press 300 lbs, Ok--Fine, but if you only weigh 140 lbs with big arms, a guy that weighs 250 lbs and can only bench press 300 lbs can grab you, throw you and sit on and crush you.
To do any real farm work with any tractor you need weight, and the torque supplied by a farm tractor engine will do the work,,,,with the weight of the tractor. Try pulling a 2 bottom plow through topsoil with a cub cadet mowing tractor that you got from Home Depot.
