How much property, and is it hilly? The specs they provide are useless, because the same machine twenty years ago, might have lasted a lot longer based on the quality of parts. My Sears tractor of six years ago, was based on a 16 hp Sears tractor that I bought in 1972, which lasted until I sold my house in 1992, and new owner used the same machine. It also was used for northern winters with a snow blower! I bought a Sears 25hp tractor in 2005 for my present property, and last winter I gave it away, after the third transmission failed. I have two acres with some incline, front to back. It was just too much on the cheap quality machine. Engine was still good, but a poorly designed tractor.
