What kind of work will you be doing with the tractor? I'm not one to always say bigger is better without knowing what the tractor will be used for. Sure it may only be 2K dollars more, but 2K$ will buy you a lot of implements.

For some purchasers bigger is better but for others it isn't, just depends on the situation and what your future plans are (if you plan on acquiring more acreage, etc.)
