I've noticed, on this forum, that the consensus of the regulars is generally to go top-of-the-line. It's nice if you can afford it, but knowing what people successfully farm with around here convinced me it isn't necessary. Besides, among neighbors and family, I didn't want to become known as the one with the Yuppie tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
