If it was me, I would go with a lot more tractor. i.e. Massey 40 or JD 2130 but by all means get an "industrial" grade unit with the really heavy beams for the loader etc. otherwise you will be disappointed at the performance(or lack thereof) of the smaller units. The new Bransons are quite heavy for their power and seem to be well made but few new units will compare to the 40-70 hp and grunt of an "ol time religion" big rig. The ergonomics is much improved on the newer models but they are still expensive for what you get in serious workability. There are a number of good big older rigs on the market now because people do like the new designs but keep in mind these are mostly 2-12 acre folks without the "old acreage" problems of odd and heavy loads and hidden dangers(half buried relics). The older industrial units can almost be used as a bulldozer while the new "3000lb." units are just gonna bend and bind. Just an opinion, but born out by goin' out in the country and askin' the folks 2 miles down a dirt road.

Gettin' close to a deal on a 2210BD with the two cylinder engine but have noticed most other YM's in this range are 3 cylinder. 2210BD was only made in '79 I think. Anyone know if there is something wrong with the two cylinder? I've heard in a small tractor they shake more but are less prone to overheating.<br>
