A 4020 is way too much tractor for 10 acres. They aren't exactly easy on fuel either. As far as being the best tractor built, they are good but I don't think the best. An MF 35 is the most copied tractor in the world. There must be a reason for this. I have a 135 which is an improved version of the 35. It replaced an 8N because we needed a live PTO for cutting grass. You need a 3 pt. hitch and no other tractor compares to the Ferguson system. Power steering is only needed if you plan to install a loader. Manual steering is easy to turn and less prone to problems. All 135's are good but if you can find a Perkins diesel, they are the best. Extremely easy on fuel and easy to start. Second choice would be a Perkins gas because according to owners they are cheaper to repair then Continentals. You will probably have to spend a little more than $3000 but you are far better off. You wouldn't want to buy a tractor only to have to replace it for what you really need. MF's are very straight forward tractors with simple controls and good reliability. A 135 would work excellent for 10 acres. A good 35 would be worth looking at as well. You could move up to a 165 as sometimes they are around the same price. MF 50's and 150's are almost the same as 35's and 135's except for the front axle. Hope this helps. Dave
