Topic

This is wonderful feedback. The differing opinions are good for perspective and the encouragement helps make the process of working through the vast number of tractors which seem to be out there a little more manageable.

A couple of additional pieces of information:

The berries will be bush fruit (raspberries, blue berries)and the situation is as Vooperpete suggested. We will be converting what is now mostly a hay field into veggies and fruit so we will likely be using the tractor to till, level the ground in places, and then mow. We are in the Pacific NW so snow removal is not an issue here.

I also picked up a used John Deere LX255 riding mower recently to mow the house lot and help out in tight places. It also seemed like a good machine for the kids to learn on as they move up to a tractor.

From the advice so far, it seems that a likely tractor would be a JD FWD 4100 ten or 4200 ten (or Kubota equivalent) with at least 20 HP at the PTO and Ag tires. Since it will have multiple users, an EHydro and power steering seems like a good idea.

Thanks to all for the good thoughts. I will keep checking in case anyone as additional advice.
