Buying Advice Buying advice 5000$

Hello all. I have seven acres and I mow about 3.5. The rest is woods. I have multiple gardens. Access to 80 more acres of my neighbors for firewood. I heat the whole house with an outdoor wood burner. I have 5000$ to spend on a tractor whose primary use will be mowing and then whatever else needs done. I'm looking at a couple yanmars, kubotas and deeres. Yanmars such as 186, 187 and 2000s. Kubotas such as b6200, b7100, l275 and deeres like the 650 and the 850. Any advice would be appreciated as far as what to avoid, mostly, but also any particular models in this price range that are stand out winners for reliability and quality. Thanks in advance for your responses.

I can only say that I've had a kubota B6200 running for 30 years and it has never given me a bit of trouble. Just change the fluids and keep it greased.

Thanks. That's the sort of info I was looking for.
