I started looking for a tractor to use around our 10 acre farmstead (mostly woods, 2 acres to mow, a small bank barn to clean out from the goats we keep, 500 ft drive to maintain, post holes to dig, dead trees to clear, etc.) and thought 20 hp would do so fell for the Kioti LB1914 (simplicity itself and a fine machine for the money). Now many folks are weighing in to buy bigger or regret it later. Money is an issue so the 'bigger" boy on the list is the Branson 2810 which is not all that much more (perhaps$2000) than the lil Kioti! Its a lot wider (62" or so compared to 47) and just appears considerably bigger than the 8 horsepower difference. You get a lot of tractor from Branson also. I know bigger may be better but can it be overkill? AAAAARRRGGGGh. too....many.......choices....brain.....starting.....to....swell.......
