I think I posted this in the wrong place...anyway...
I'm new here and have been reading the forum now for several weeks trying to prepare myself to make a knowledgeable tractor purchase in the future. I've never owned or driven a tractor before, but I now have land (10 acres). Something I've not been able to discern across all brands is this...what features are essential in making sure that I'm comparing apples to apples across different brands? Without initially comparing dealers and parts availability, but machine to machine, I think they might be:
1. Weight
2. HP at PTO
3. ?
Being in north Alabama, I've access to most any brand. All inputs/thoughts are appreciated. Thanks for having me!
