For clearing land in TX, I'd be looking for something with a cab and air conditioning. It will be worth the money when you hit your first yellow jacket nest.
Both my tractors have cabs.
I don't know the number of times I've had yellowjackets, or bees, and even an angry bumblebee hive hitting the glass.
All it took was one experience years ago with a large bee hive and a Bobcat to earn that advanced degree...
