I have had a little JD 1023e for 3 or 4 years, now...best tractor I've ever owned! I cut down 37 pines in the yard over the last year and a half or so, averaging 60-80 feet tall and 22" in diameter...skidded and piled them with the loader bucket on that little 23hp tractor! Also bush hog and till my son's 5 acre pasture with it...There's only been one time it hasn't done what I asked it to, although sometimes you have to ask it a little differently than a bigger tractor. I couldn't move some of the stumps that Jaredhunts came and dug up for me...but I don't feel too bad about that, his big ol' backhoe could only barely move some of them! When the timber guys came to get the logs I'd cut, they couldn't believe I'd piled them and created a 20' wide, 8' tall, and 100' long brushpile with all the limbs and other brush we'd cut up there! If that little tractor was a 50hp, I'd rule the world, by now!

Quit laughing...I think I broke something.

I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.
