I was looking for a 5X25 or 50X5M series John Deere. I ended up with a 6000 series because the price was about 10,000 less than the smaller tractors I had been looking at.

Hard to have 'too big' of a tractor, you must have heard your wife say size does not matter too many times .....

you can never have to much tractor unless you live in town on an acre or 2.

Yep. I started with a 33hp, then went to a 48hp. Now, I wish I had at LEAST a 60hp cab preferably 70-80hp to comfortably pull a 10ft bush hog... :thumbsup:

So far haven't read where anyone believes they've bought too much tractor.
Me included, CK25 on 2.5 acres. Glad I didn't go smaller.

- Bobcat CT335 + John Deere 1023e (former owner of Kubota BX2370-1, John Deere 5210, and Ford 2000)
After having a JD 5210 that I was perfectly satisfied with for ten years, I picked up a smaller 35 hp tractor to accomodate some of my needs for better manuverability. Now I find that I am hardly using the larger tractor.
Two weeks ago the power company dug up a big rock while trenching new underground for me. Moving that rock was the first tractor job in the last year that the little CT335 failed to do for me.
Now that I think about it, that sneaky little guy with the HST has quietly been becoming my first choice. But, I do do still love that Deere.

You guys have missed a thread I started a few days back about possibly downsizing. I have an L4300 on 10 acres and often catch myself wishing for something a little smaller (and cushier). I would say I possibly bought too much tractor, but I got a super good deal on it and hey, it will do the work wherever it will fit.
