Yeah, there's always an advantage to having a tractor that's just a little bigger. With all of the new and used machines that are available, I can buy tractors in 1Hp increments. It's really easy to get out of control.
I have hard limits in physicals size, weight, and cost. While some older Ford, IH, and Case tractors are cheap and more powerful, they are universally too heavy. I have a 1ton trailer and no desire to get a bigger one. The newer Kubota and Deere tractors are compact and powerful, but they are far beyond my reach financially. You get the idea.
That's why I settled on a little grey market tractor. I can pay for it with cash, haul it on existing equipment, and store it in my existing garage. While I have yet to confirm, I believe it is equivalent to the Ford 1200. Theoretically, parts won't be too hard to get.
