19 PTO HP is simply not enough. Go with the 3510, with the 30 PTO HP and the 3-range HST.

It sounds like many of you are saying the tractors in the 24-26 HP range with the 18-20 PTO HP cannot disc a one acre field, mow/hog a 1 acre lot and scatter some gravel every now and then. Every dealership I go to has more sub compacts than any other size on their lot. The dealers tell me the 24-26 HP compacts (not sub-compacts) are their single best sellers. What do you think those tractors are being used for if not for light duty tasks like I envision using one for?

I suspect that the emissions requirements have a lot to do with 25hp being a best seller size.
If 25hp will do the job OK, why deal with the extra emissions hardware, even if it takes a bit more time?
