The only reason I would consider a "new" tractor would be something with front wheel assist and a loader.
Even then, I would NOT buy brand new.
I would stay away from the "cheap" tractors some of the farm supply stores sell. Stay with any of the long time manufacturers like JD, Case, IH, Ford, MF, Kubota would be OK, and the like.
The other thing I could suggest is getting a used skid steer WITH A GOOD ROLL CAGE. My preference on skid steers is in this order, I have ran them all: 1 Case. It has the most break out power and is heavy. 2 New Holland. The arm design basically allows a more near vertical lift. 3 Bobcat. The parts are a little high, but good machine. 4 Deere.
I would recommend at least 40 HP or so with a 48 or 54 inch bucket if you get a skid steer. DOUG
