If you are really going to use 3 point equipment, you should consider that the 1023 is a limited Cat I tractor, which means it has restricted lift height and may not work well with some 3 point attachments. As nice as all the small wheeled tractors are, when it comes to 3 point work, it looks to me like they come up short. You might also look at the 2320/2520/2720.
