He's a liar, tell him I said so.

Lots of people with small plots use 30-35 hp tractors for cutting hay. As long as you are not going to plow, that's all you need.

Shop around. Stay away from JD. Stay away from the 8N and 9N too. The local what used to be Oliver dealer, who then sold New Holland, is now selling Kubota. Why? Because that's what people want. Inexpensive, sturdy, etc. Just be sure you know exactly what implements you are going to buy first. Match them up by size and task. If you will be maintaining a road or moving snow, consider a loader and back blade. Note that some tractors are great loader tractors, others are worthless.

If you have a neighbor with a small plot and a small tractor, go talk to him. Learn all you can before you start writing checks. If you have specific questions about a certain model of tractor, new or used, post back. No doubt someone here has one.
