That's a great little tractor, it should serve you well. The Masseys in that size range are Japanese made, they're quality machines. Take care of it & it'll last forever. I agree with the others saying 4wd is a must, especially for pushing snow. The small tractors like that don't have the weight that the older 2wd ag tractors had that somewhat made up for lack of 4wd. I wouldn't own a tractor with a front end loader that wasn't 4wd. You'll find the front end loader to be one of the most useful pieces of gear you've ever owned, there's a million things you can do with one. I've used mine for hanging deer, moving furniture, trimming tree limbs, getting on top of the house, hauling out deer, etc. you'll find things you never dreamed of to do with the FEL.
