I bought my wife (the horse farmer) a cute little JD compact utility in 2005- a JD 4010 (no, not THAT 4010, as I have to tell the old timers). We both use it a lot, and love it. Hydro-static drive just can't be beat for loader work.

She said at one point she put the seat belt on "because I was afraid I was gonna get bucked off".
So I agree with your general premise, but there can be exceptions.
