[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1468424, member: 385"] If you're doing a bunch of mowing go the hydro-stat, especially if the grass thickness varies and there are obstacles (trees, rocks, etc). 4WD is not essential for mowing. For light duty loader service or other uses you mention, it is virtually required. You do want a Diesel engine, don't you? New Holland and John Deere make excellent machines, with good parts availability. I've run both Ford (NH's predecessor) and JD compact tractors. Kubota has a good reputation, but their parts availability isn't stellar. I would not have another Massey-Ferguson. A rear mounted grooming mower will do, for the reasons already mentioned in other posts. I notice you are from Tulsa; go talk with the folks at Tulsa New Holland. They are square shooters, with a good service and parts departments. I've bought several pieces of equipment from them and will highly recommend them. [/QUOTE]
