I live in central Missouri and have virtually no experience with tractors. I have 8 acres and would like to purchase a tractor to pull a finish mower. I would also like to use the tractor to blade my 1/4 mile driveway and disc my garden. I've been looking at and learning about tractors. It seems that I would be best off if I get something that has live PTO. It also seems that something in the mid 30's for HP should be sufficient. I've had some tell me that I should get gas and others tell me I should get diesel. I am looking to spend around 3,000 - 4,000 and am keeping my eye out for auctions and craigslist. I would like some more opinions on what tractor make/model/style/anything that I should get. I would like something that is easy to maintain that I'd be able to do repairs to if necessary. I plan on keeping it in my garage. Thanks.
