i agree with many of the comments in here. one big one is not to buy a new tractor, there is no need. there are plenty of good used tractors under $6k. the real question is what will you need it for. if it is for carrying small loads (500 lbs) and checking on the cows etc, then a 4 wheeler may be nice to have, although you can do that with a tractor with diff gas consumption. another thought is not to get a typical 4 wheeler. you might look at the polaris ranger or i think the mule (honda?). these carry two people and have a bed with a 500-800 lbs capacity, and are also 4x4 or 6x6 for some models. these things new are <$10k. i have a jd gator, which is a 4x2 with locking rear differential. this is no speed demon, but has a nice hydraulic bed with a good capacity. not much for climbing hills though, but is pretty safe since it wont go over 15mph. if you want to push snow, i think a true tractor would be your bet, but with buying used you should be able to get both for the $ of a brand new tractor. my $.02.
