ya, money is a factor for sure. Its extravagant considering I don't do much beyond plowing the driveways. Getting my firewood is a short term task in the spring/fall. I certainly like Massey. The FE35 has been a tank especially considering I was inexperienced and didn't know the ins and outs of regular maintenance. Now it receives regular care, but after 50+yrs, it deserves a vacation. So, I have a bias for MF, but Kubota is quite common around these parts for small tractors.... I always want more HP/size, but $ determines what happens above 40HP. I would top out at 45-50HP most likely and for various reasons including a place to store it is going to cost more and more as the door gets taller.
