Thanks for the replys and help!

I have not yet purchased a machine and want to give it some more thought before plunking down $12K+ ...

I will be looking into the Steiner, Ventrac or Power-trac as suggested.

The basic problem is that a tractor for me will be new and I have zero experience operating one. While this in and of itself is no big deal as I am very comfortable learning "OJT" the problem is really the danger of the property I have to work. There is literally minimal to no flat terrain "just to play" around and get used to using the tractor. My OJT (mowing using the fel, etc etc) will be working a property that will be very unforgiving.

So I am being cautious and safety is the paramount concern and I just dont want to be throwing $ at a problem until I am pretty certain that it will solve most of the problems.

Anyhow, I am still searching and researching.

I will post some of the property pics on my website shortly.

Hi,<br>
<br>
Just purchased a single fam w/ 3 acre hilly lot; 2 wooded/brush and 1 grass. 1/2 of the property is at various 20-45 degree grades.<br>
<br>
Looking to cut and maintain grass, move and haul rock/stone/dirt, snow removal on 200' sloping driveway, cut brush, etc etc.<br>
<br>
Besides adding more life insurance any ideas on the type of tractor I should get? I am leaning towards the JD 2210.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
