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.
But she pasture harrowed the field with it several years ago, and was not impressed.

She said at one point she put the seat belt on "because I was afraid I was gonna get bucked off".
