12.5 acres: figure out what the tractor has to do first before choosing one.

So I decided on the MX5100 w/fel, 6ft box blade, and 6ft mower.

I figured this will give me something to grow into and I won't be left wishing I got a bigger tractor later. I decided on the 2wd vs the 4wd to save a little coin, loader work isn't going to be a primary function of the tractor. So I think I'll be ok. Anyway, I hope I made the right decision. I'll post later after I spend some time on the tractor. Thanks for everyones input.

Buying a tractor without a loader is like buying a car without a drivers seat. Sure it may work for a while and you can work around not having it- but sooner or later, you will realize how useful it is.

Wouldn't trade mine for anything, found uses for it that I never realized.

Anyway, I agree with several ideas posted. Think long term use- what needs to be done now and in the future. More HP is better (I'm dealing with aspects of an under HP tractor now).

Think of it as a long term investment. I would think that you put a lot of thought into the piece of land you purchased, put the same amount of conideration in buyinh the right equipment

The only thing wrong with that tractor is you havent gotten it dirty yet
