I mow a 3 acre yard and bushog another 5 acres of hill ground.....besides plowing and working a 2 acree garden. I have a JD 1050..about 33 HP and it is plenty for what I do, BUT it is too light and has dry brakes and no PS. I have an excellent JD dealer here. I want the weight of a larger tractor to keep the front end where it belongs when hogging. I don't NEED 50 horses but want the weight a tractor that size provides. I also want something fairly new. 4 wd isn't needed but wouldn't be shunned. If I could have a 5,000 pound tractor with 35 horses, I'd be happy.....an old 830 would work but they're getting long in the tooth and i'm not into antiques and working on something all the time. I once had a farmer neighbor tell me....you can do small work with a big tractor but not big work with a small tractor..well, i don't have any big work to do, but I've had my share of small tractors and tired of them. Folks like old iron to tinker with but they ain't worth a damn for using IMHO. I had a '56 CA and a '59 JD 430....PITA's. This little 1050 has been an excellent machine but too light.
