[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1837028, member: 19817"] Nothing in particular to stay away from. One major observation is many newer utility tractors have a lot of horsepower for their relatively low weight, not unheard of to have a 100hp tractor that weights 8k lbs. They also squeeze a lot of power out of relatively small engines, often times 100+ horsepower out of 3~4L engines which lack torque and need to be reved up to make power. This gives many a false sense of their ability (you aren't going to comfortably lift 2500lbs with a tractor that only weights 8000lbs) Compared to say my TW5 that is 100hp out of a 6.6L engine and weights just over 15k lbs. I comfortable lift 3500lbs and put the wife and kids in the tractor without a second thought. [/QUOTE]
