bgm72,
I own a NH TC25D ag tires with FEL & 3pt 7' blade. After +77 hrs I am happy with this unit (discontinued model). Power has been adequate for my applications. Primarily off season X/C ski trail worK(grading, rock removal, skidding windfall) and snow removal from a 1250 ft drive. The terrain I work on is hilly. The "soil" is sandy-gravel with a few damp spots. 4wd is always engaged. I went with the TC25D for the class II "frame", adequate power, felt good and a great dealership. If all the tractors you listed are similar my recommendation would be the one you liked best test "driving" plus a great (good, reliable/competent, fair priced, nice people) dealer. Hydro vs gear drive sure is nice for loader work.

I believe that machine would be overkill for his purposes. He mentioned sand, not multiflora roses.

that unit is ok for the sand work, but might be a little hard on the lawn/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Have you considered snow fencing, as a temporary solution, and/or perhaps a hedge as a longer term solution to control ground drifting in all seasons?
