Can't beat a 4 wheel drive tractor for versatility and value, especially on the size acreage you've got. I've got a 28 hp ford, with loader, and it has revolutionized my farming since last summer when I was just using a walk behind. I think a front end loader is absolutely the most useful tractor tool ever made. I also stay on top of weeds, fallowing, and other soil work much better now that I have equipment appropriate to my size. We grow 2-3 acres of veggies, on a 20 acre property. The only concern I have is that my tractor is geared a little high for running the PTO tiller when the soil is heavy in the early spring. We also have an older chinese model with a true creeper gear, and it moves as slow as I want. Most asian tractors have this creeper gear, it
might be something to consider as you look for a tractor.
