this will not be a heavy use tractor and have a barn to keep it inside .
Like to have 35-40 hp
We have a local dealer here in Anderson, STEC and SIL actually worked their back when he was in HS and early college years . He said they sold a lot of them and never seemed to have to do many repairs other than typical service work
Couple clients have them, more or less “gentlemen’s farms” and love them
Looking at new as well as a used older model tractor as well
Try to find a JD 5055e or something like it off of a peach farm. They lease them for a year and then hand them back in. Our smaller tractor is a 5075e Peach lease tractor and its damn near new. Had very little issues so far. I wouldnt buy anything that wasnt green.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
