for that requirement I'd say HST ... mine had never run a tractor before, with the HST, after 2 sits, she is comfortable moving it around, and almost knows how the FEL works ... I don't think she'll ever try the BH tho /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hello Cabraken

You sure live in a very nice area. I got my tractor from a dealer in your area. He sells Montana Tractors as well as others. He has just about every implement and last year he every model of Montana tractor on the lot.

This maybe a good place to start looking for your new tractor.
Here is the address:

Worthington Tractors
9123 Elizabeth Lake Rd
Leona Valley, CA 93551
661-270-1222

Very happy with the sale but can' say anything about the service because so far 100 hours and no problems. Good luck in finding something to meet your needs. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Cobraken:
Take a look at the NH TC series of tractors. I am very satisfied with my TC29DA. I chose this model for its ground clearance, lift capacities, and PTO HP. It comes with a 3 range HST, 4WD, Power Steering, and is ergonomically well designed. With FEL, 5' rotary cutter, 7' landscape rake/grader, and 58" tiller costs should run ~$22K (new). Good luck- Jay

I'd look at orchard/vineyard compact 4wd. 55-65 hp. will do everything you need. What I like is the stability/safety factor. I farm extremely steep ground and we haven't ever come close to tipping one. You can find tractors like these for 15-20k. Look at Italian made. You get a ton of hp. in a small package. Check these out.
