Just to give everyone some background, this will be our first tractor. My wife and I have 5 completely wooded and sloped acres that we plan to build on this year. This being a flag lot, we also have a 1900' driveway to contend with. The primary uses for this machine will be to skid logs, move firewood, maintain and plow the driveway, run a pto chipper, possibly mow a small strip of grass on either side of the driveway, build our patio, etc. Of course, it will also provide me with something to do when the wife is in a "mood". Because we are about to build a home, cost is the biggest factor in the tractor purchase, with functionality and durability being important as well. With that said, I'm not afraid of having a shuttle versus hydrostat.
Can anyone offer some insight to the DS line of tractors? Have there been any issues, gripes, etc. that would be relevant?
