I (I mean “we”) have a 29 hp Case New Holland tractor with an auger and a front end loader. It is the great equalizer for short, not very physically strong, but hard-headed women like me. With it, I can do all the things the “boys” do – unload and move 50 lb feed sacks from my truck, plant trees, sink fence posts. I even watered newly planted trees by filling up the front end loader with water (before we ran water to that area). My husband has used it to lift and tow vehicles around the property. One thing for short people, however – in this model, there is an automatic safety cutoff if you are not on the seat and the parking brake is not set. I am light enough and short enough that sometimes when I put the clutch all the way in, I come up off the seat “just enough” so that it cuts out. I think I’ve stretched my left leg an extra 1/2 inch because I don’t have that problem now! But it was annoying in the beginning. If you are short, you might want to try that out before you buy one. The dealership may be able to move the seat mount closer for you (if you do it yourself, it may void the warranty if you need to drill into the frame).

Here in western VA a small 15-18 hp tractor like that could not handle a 4 ft tiller. To much clay and rocks.

Hi, Khan
A couple of considerations when selecting small tractors. First, I agree with everyone who said get a front-end loader. Second, your size will depend on what you want to get done– all tractors work the same, so getting used to a larger one is pretty much the same as a smaller one. Don’t undersize as you’ll regret the limitations (difficult to cover rough terrain, limited safe loads in the loader, wheel width,…). Get ag tires if you’re working in wet or muddy fields, turf tires if you’re only working on your lawn. Three point hitches will allow you to expand your collection of implements but remember that even a Kubota 3400 won’t be heavy enough to pull a 3 furrow moldboard plow.
Good luck
Jeff

Hi, can you give a few details about your Kubota tractor? We need to start looking into getting a tractor, and a couple of words you used in your post are very appealing to me, lol….”dead-simple” and “nonthreateningly tiny”…..
