Good point I also recently bought a new tractor. I was looking at a 40 HP that weighed 3200lb and switched to a 41hp that weighs 6800lb. Same brand no regrets. Same money how do you figure that?I also just bought another tractor little bit over two years ago I traded in my Kubota grand L which was a great tractor but with my age and task I was doing I felt it was a little large. I downgraded to a BX 2680 which is really a great little tractor and I found it has only one shortfall and that’s its limiting lifting capacity so I just opted for an LX 2620 open cab open cockpit and while it’s still a 25 hp tractor it’s hydraulic system pushes over 3 gallons a minute more hydraulic fluid and therefore significantly more lifting power and still not an overly large tractor to move around my property. Bottom line decide what you want to do with the tractor and then add a little bit more capability than what you think you need and you won’t keep making the same mistake I’ve done
