I thought maybe I should give you more info on how I plan to use this tractor. The farm is 48 acres, most of which is in permanent grass. We also rent about 30 acres across the road which is all in grass. I do almost no plowing or harrowing, maybe 5 acres a year, and actually most of that plowing gets done by a team of horses so for that the tractor is not even a factor. We hope to make 5-6000 bales of hay per year. All of the livestock is out on rotational pasture for 7 or 8 months of the year, so even manure handling chores are rather minimal. The tractors we have now only get started a handfull of times during the winter although if I had a loader tractor I might use it as often as once a week. Sorry this is so long, and thanks for the responses so far.
