Default 3525 right tractor for market garden?

Hi all. I'm a new member and really enjoy reading all the tidbits of advice that people bring to the table in this forum. I've finally realized that I am no match for the 50 year old tractor I've been working on, and want to buy a dependable and basic tractor for a 15 acre market garden I'm starting up in the spring. I'm very impressed with the 3525, and the local dealer who drove 40 miles to show me this model while he was returning a 3505 to an owner in my area. I'm going to test drive several major colors before I decide. My question is this: will the 3525 be nimble enough to maneuver around relatively small planting beds? I know this model is a real horse and can handle the big chores just fine, but once I've renovated the acreage with terrace work and cover crops, I want to be sure I'm not trying to steer the Titanic around a fishing pond. Thanks for any advice or insight!

THE 3525 HAS A TURNING RADIUS OF 9.5' WHICH I BELIEVE WILL COMPETE WITH ANY OTHER TRACTOR OF EQUAL DIMENTIONS AND WEIGHT. IF YOU GO TO A SMALLER TRACTOR FOR MANUVERABILITY YOU WILL LOSE SOME OF THE STRENGTH CAPABILITIES. THE 3525 ALSO HAS A LOW RPM HIGH TORQUE ENGINE WHICH IS A PLUS FOR FUEL ECONOMY AND WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUCH IT WILL BE LESS LIKELY TO STALL. IT WILL LUG AT LOW RPM'S AND RECOVER ON ITS OWN. THE TIRES ARE NOT WIDE AND THERE IS A LOT OF TREAD WIDTH ADJUSTMENT. THE 3525 SHOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT ROW CROP, GARDEN TRACTOR.

I bought a 3525 a couple of months ago and I do not have experience with other tractors, but I feel it has good manueverabilty.
