I will be looking for a cab tractor in the 30-35 HP range with low hrs to mount a front snow blower & 6' blade in the winter and a 5 or 6 rear finish mower or bush hog to maintain an over size lawn/foodplot. Any suggestions on blower size and/or tractors ? Want to stay away from newer tractors with def fluid. Driveway is approx. 1700 feet long and I will be retired so I will be in no hurry. Right now I use my truck but do not want to beat on a truck when I get my next one with the drifting. Snow blower and rear blade will be my best bet. A cup of coffee,just a sweatshirt and tunes playing is the desired effect .LOL

If your going that route a new kubota 2370 with a factory cab and front mount snow blower
with a heater defroster and air condtioner will be a better match for what you need.
A new sub compact will have a long term warranty and extended warranty(if you purchase it) so keep that in mind.
You going to be spending a lot of money for a low hour used mid size compact tractor if they are
available and comparing used to new prices is a waste of time as they are so close.
With a new 1870 or 2370 mule and front mount snow blower, cab with heater defroster, coleman air conditioner and snow chains your going to be under 25K or close to it.
You could buy a new Kubota RTV with a heater, air conditioner, 2 sets of snow chains, front mount motorized snow blower, and a front mount mower too.
The RTV's are expensive to maintain so keep that in mind.
Your better off waiting to buy old (new) inventory and just argue until you find a dealer that wants to sell bad enough..
