I've decided to go with a 4WD, Hydro, Loader, 6'Rotary Cutter, and Blade to maintain a 20 acre horse facility (mostly pastures). Anyone have an opinion on one versus the other? In the Cincinnati area I have found both comparably priced ($18,300 - 18,900 with Industrial tires) and am impressed by the people at the dealerships at both.

I have a TC29, with loader and 9/3 tranny, loaded ag tires, and horses and cows. A big influence when I choose the Boomer was it's overall physical size compared toother tractors. My temporary horse barn has a 10 foot aisleway, and 10X10 stalls.When I had to redo the stall bases due to flooding, I was able to dig them out andrefill with the tractor by just taking the fronts and dividing wall, and doing twoat a time. The tractors size and maneuverability made it easy. I use it for all thehauling in the horse and cow barns, manure buckets, bedding, everything that savesmy back! I did not bother with a mower for mine, but I hay my fields, and it willpull my tedder and small baler, while I use the big Oliver for the disc mower. Ihighly recommend the TC29! ....

Thanks Farminlady for the input, I ordered my TC29D yesterday. I'm in a littledifferent situation than you, so I opted for the Hydro transmission and the Supersteer options. We'll be doing a lot of loader work in the barn, and working the bush-hog around fences in three different pastures. I looked at the JD 4300 andthe Kibota 3010; both good units as well as far as I'm concerned, but the TC29Dgot the nod based on the good feeling I had about the dealership as well as thetight turning capability of the TC29D.Thanks again for the help. I'll let you know how I like it once I put a few hours on. ....
