Both Chad and Jonathan have advocated for the smaller tractors and I totally agree. The 70's series (70, 71, 72, 73) are great economy line tractors and will do a great job for you mowing (and plowing, as I have had snow rolling over the top of my blade before and my 73 was doing just fine). I have heard several fellows tell me that the HP ratings of those old Kohler's was under rated and the more I use mine, the more I believe that to be true. The 70's series are quite plentiful, but so are many of the other models. I think you'd be happy with one of the older IH cubs. Don't worry about the HP, they'll serve you well. Ultimately, it is your choice.
