I bought too small the first time around..My first was a yanmar 1700. At the time i only had 3 ac.. figured it would do. Eventually had to get a larger tractor.. was only going to jump into the mid 20's but fell into a good deal on a id 30's Nh diesel.. that took up the slack. Bought 10 more ac along the way, and was spending way too much time mowing.. I ende dup getting a larger tractor to handle the mowing.

jk96 said:How many TBN'rs bought too small of a tractor on first purchase? How many bought too big? Just curious what others experience was since most advice here seems to be buy bigger than you think you need.
I bought a DX24 case and traded it back in after one year and 240 hours on a bigger case DX33.
