    New guy from Central Texas

    Just saying Hi! Got hold of 25+ acres of fairly wooded land this spring and am looking for the right tractor to tame it. Still in the research stage, but this forum looks to have some good info. Too bad the Compact Tractor Buyers Guide is unavailable, that looked like something I could use.
