BIL is in process of buying a Kioti - wasn't happy when I asked him "what's it want to be when it grows up?". Nothing wrong with a compact for smaller acreage, but they will get very pricey, very quick - it's not cheap HP. Landpride makes good mowers. I'm too durned tall for a compact, so won't own one (more room on my 8N). Of all the ones BIL looked at (NH, Kubota, Century, Branson, McCormick, Yanmar, Farmtrac, Kioti, MF), I liked them in this order: NH,MF,Century,McCormick, Kioti,Kubota,Branson,FarmTrac,Yanmar (Just my opinion - don't want to start a war!). NH was clearly the winner, but also the most expensive(JD was ousted early due to price). Then you have to decide Gear or Hydrostat (HST) - The HST's out there just don't (to me) "feel" quite right. All of the ones he looked at were in the 30 HP range (looked at a few others, but he wanted small). There is a board for "Yuppie Tractors" -Tractorbynet (dot) com - they will answer any questions you have.

The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
