There are some engineers on here, but I am not one of them. It would be helpful to know your intended usage and acreage and possibly general location..

Well, that's like walking into a dealership (assuming you have picked a brand) and saying 'I want a truck!'. JK, welcome to TBN! I am in your position, and there is a lot to figure out, these guys are really helpful though...

Actually, I think there are more options and choices than a pickup, but the prices are about the same...ugh...

Ok, here goes my requirements: I got about 1.5 acres sloping from house about 300' to lake. I need to level out ruts left over from septic install 10 years ago, grade as much as 2-4' for a ride on model rr of about 450' track, grade a better golf cart driveway to lake, spread topsoil at lake and build some riprap of 100'. also put in a small pond if I have room left and do some landscaping. I think I need a rear grading blade, a box blade. What else? Looking at a Kioti ck20. The dealer is close also.

Rob, welcome to the forum
I think the Kioti is a nice little tractor but some of these jobs are going to be hard to do with it. You might be better off to buy a tractor with the mowing and maintaining in mind. Might be better to rent a larger landscape loader to handle the larger tasks for a few days.
