I've been looking for a small tractor to take care of my 5 acres. I need a small rough cut mower, and a FEL (for general work, plus I need to dig a bit on a new driveway of about 50')
I was hoping to get into something for $5k or less used, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. Here locally, the pickings are pretty slim, a couple of Ford 8n and 9ns, but that's about it.
I saw these guys Tractor Packages: Farm & Agricultural Equipment Packages From Tractor Co, Your Washington Dealer. and their packages, and it seems to be a pretty decent deal. The home owner package had a box blade, mower, and bucket. The tractor might be a little small though. I'm looking for something that'll do the job, but my wife won't be afraid to use in the garden for moving mulch around, etc.
Looking for newbie advice. I didn't see anything too negative with tractorco, but I'm not sure. I think the really old tractors will just scare the DW, and I can't afford a Kubota. The gray markets look to be a decent deal.
Can you guys give me some thoughts? They also have some used tractors here:

Thanks in advance!
