Buying a tractor

[bonboutract]

I have 8 acres of garden/land. I mow 5 acres once or twice a year with a bush hog. The other 3 acres are mostly lawn. Next spring I'll need to do a lot of digging to replace drains. What small tractor would best fit my needs. I want something not too big and reliable. Thanks for your advise.

So.. you want it not to big and reliable I'm sure we can find some unreliable SCUT for ya!

But seriously 18-24hp and a backhoe should fit right in there somewhere..

I have a JD2520 for the same purpose (6 acres) and it does the job for me very well.
