I am not sure I would buy a machine that big. I think 25 Hp is the Minimum and 30 the max based on your physical peramiters. Buying a machine that is too large is just as dissapointing as getting one too small. I was at my dealer the other day and there was a used 5220 out front that was traded back in with 65 hours because the fellow bought too big of a machine. There was another fellow ordering a 4310 just to mow a 2 acre lawn, he wouldn't listen to dealer who was politly trying to suggest a smaller machine. Also I notice that you are not maintaing sizeable plots. I do agree with the 790 choice but would also add the JD 4110 or 4115. I prefer 4wd with a limited slip as this allows you to get away with a slightly smaller machine in the woods. I have heard some of the New Holland boomers in this class are to be discontinued this year. I do not want to take anything away from a good tractor but I would not want to but a model that is about to be discontinued. I looked at massey quite a bit before I bought. At first blush they offer a nice machine at a great price. They are made by AGCO so they have AGCO financeing, If you need to finance at all that is where any AGCO product will get left in the dirt by JD or Kubota. Another thing to consider is if you intend to trailer it at all. I really think the most important thing is to test drive the machines.
