i'm considering buying a b8200-dt for general landscaping, it has only 19 hp, do you consider this strong enough for grading and moving dirt, it is 4wd w/ a loader---any advice is appreciated

When buying anything used and a few years old you always seem to miss some luxuries for some and standard features for other. Hard to find a compact built today withoout power steering and if your young armstrong power steering is okay for a while unless there are others that might operate the tractor that might need it. ....

irishman -
For general landscaping chores, and beyond, the 19 hp that the 8200 offers, assuming in good running order, is more than capable.
Realize one thing - and that is there is NO comparing a 3cyl diesel 19hp engine with a 2 or 3 cyl gas engine in a small lawn tractor. One will achieve much more torque, power and certainly economics with the diesel, with power to spare for your applications.
