I have 9 acres of land. My house sits 800 feet up the driveway from the road. The entire piece of land is on a side of a hill (not steep, more like a rolling hill). 90% of it is brush, thorns, trees, ect. I want to use the tractor for some landscaping, driveway maintenance, and mainly to clear alot of brush, thorns, firewood, etc. The dealer said the 1710 won't be sufficient. What do you all say? Again this in on the side of a hill and also, I need to move some big rocks that is all around my property.
Thanks in advance.

Funny you should ask. I had a 1710 for quite a few years before upgrading to a 2120. I got the 2120 in 1987 and it still runs great. The 2120 is a lot more tractor than the 1710 and can move much larger rocks. It is also much more stable. I run all 8 foor implements on the 2120, box blade, york rake, rear blade etc. It handles them well. If I had a choice and I did , I would go with the 2120. Nothing wrong with the 1710, but the 2120 is just so much more.
