i can't speak for the 5525, but the 3525 is a **** of a tractor for the money.

very good power, lifting and otherwise - for it's size.

but as most folks say - better to have too much power than not enough.
if you are in the middle on these two - go bigger.

but IF the 3525 will do all your forseable future chores - then maybe it's the right one.

good luck -
