So what brand would you recommend?
I'd echo TripleR's comment, and not try to pick a particular brand for you. I would just say that it would be worth it to consider companies like Kioti or LS as you do your research. $20k gets you a lot of tractor from those two companies.
In reality, the 30-50hp compact tractor market is extremely competitive, and you'd probably have to work to find one that wouldn't do what you need done.
I cornered the mechanic at my dealer, while the salesman was taking a phone call, and asked him what his opinion was, considering he's been there for years, and they deal with a number of brands. He said "LS makes me feel like the Maytag repairman. I check them when they come off the truck, and normally never see them again." That was pretty comforting to hear!
