JD makes a good rubber tired hoe, better than Case and about the same as Cat .Minis have there place but for all around use id go with a rubber tire hoe. JD has good resale value and good parts availability. Youll use it more than you think but also have lots of friends wanting to use it or have you do something for them for free or cheap. Fuel hydraulic fluid hoses parts all add up not cheap but in your business youll get a better return than me just using one on the farm.
