What would you buy? Compact Tractors

[Altex]

We live on a total of 15 acres near Dallas, TX. 7 of those acres need to be mowed on a regular (2 times a month) basis. We also have a full size arena that has been neglected for a long time, and want to get a drag that will bust up hard East Texas sand/clay. There is a long white rock drive that needs to be maintained as well.

Budget 15-20K..would love a 0% financing offer. We are looking for some recommendations on a tractor, attachments..including arena drag, and possible dealer recommendations in the DFW area. I'm finding it hard to easily compare models and prices. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Welcome Chuck!!

Are you gonna be stackin' Round Bales? If so, you're probably gonna need a tractor in at least the 40 HP range. Which is a bit more $. If not, a smaller tractor will do.

Attachments (might not need all of these but they come to mind): FEL (Front End Loader), Brush Hog (rough cut-mower), Box Scraper, Tiller or Plow/Disc Harrow, Arena Drag, Manure spreader, Post Hole Digger.

Check out Zimmerer. They have 4 stores in the Metroplex - Fort Worth, Denton, Decatur, Cleburn. Mike Karnes (Sales Mgr Denton store) is very helpful. He won't sell you something you don't need. They sell alot of equipment in the Aubrey-Pilot Point area (Horse Country), so they have a good reputation.

It might be farther if you're on the East side of the Metroplex, but the service is worth it.
