Welcome. The bigger is better stuff goes on eternally. I moved last year from a 68 hp JD 2030 to a 38 hp 3038e. I took a hard look at what I do and went for the smallest tractor that would do it. Sure I'd love a bigger tractor, but it costs more to buy and operate. And bigger tractors are higher and harder for old knees - or artificial ones like my wife's. Like most people I know folks with big tractors nearby. If I really need something done that requires more weight and hp, I'll call a friend. It's not as convenient, but a lot cheaper. My only real complaint about going with the CUT is its stability on slopes. The narrower tractor is great in the forest, but scary on slopes. I've become fond of the seat belt.
