NH TC30 HST -vs- Farmtrac 300DTC

[Gumby6]

I am in the market for a utility machine.
Accessories will include FEL w quick change and extra hydraulics, Grapple,Box Blade, Post Hole Auger, Forks, and a detachable Backhoe for the 3pt.

My terrain is NOT flat, I have a 1/4 mile of gravel drive to maintain, wooded lot to semi clear/maintain, and a shop with equipment and material handling needs.

I am thinking the Farmtrac may be a little too large (length width) for my needs, but the added weight would help with the logging/material handling.

Unit would not be worked on a daily basis, but I like dependability and ease of maintenace/parts

I have researched the capabilities and mechanical advantages to both.

What I need is first hand opinions from owners like yourselves.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am not sure but I know the FarmTrac 300DTC is one of the best rated 30hp tractors on the market today. The loader especially specs out more than any 30hp that I have looked at in recent memory. Again, I can't say that I have looked at the TC30 specs latetly so don't hold me to that.
