I'm trying to convince myself into replacing my riding mower with a subcompact tractor. Looking at New Holland TZ18 or 22DA, Case DX18 or 24E, and Kubota BX1830 or 2230. I've read and seen enough to see that it is a personal choice amoung brands. I need to know if these tractors will handle the dual purposes I have. I only mow abt. 3/4 of an acre of flat lawn, along with a hundred feet or so of road frontage. I'm planning to thin a small (1/2 ac) wooded area and will eventually need to mow in there also. My old 8N died, and I also need the capability to groom my 500' gravel drive, with ocassional light grading required to repair washed out areas. I'd rather not add the expense of a fel up front, though I may add one later. I have existing cat1 equipment, scrape blade etc... but don't believe it will be compatable even with pins reversed. Anyone with a subcompact offering comments would be welcome.
