I have been researching compact/garden tractors and will eventually be purchasing a tractor, but I don't know where to begin. Here are my requirements: A)it must be powerfull enough to drive at least a 48" wide snow blower, B)have a separate PTO (unlike a Ford 8N which drives off the rear differential), C)be easy to get parts for, D)be reasonably dependable, and E)not TOO expensive to purchase. I'd also like to be able to mow with it. I can fabricate or adapt an implement (snow blower) to mount on just about anything. Any ideas?

Thanks.

How about a nice IH 424 or 444. Independent PTO was an option (with a 2 stage clutch) as was power steering, so make sure it has those. Came in both diesel and gas versions, about 35 PTO HP with low profile and a good 3pt hitch. Usually runs around $4000 for a good one. You can still get parts at Case IH, or the Mahindra tractors still sold new(made in India I believe) are copies of these tractors and many of the parts will interchange. Mahindra parts are cheaper than the IH parts. The IH 424 was built in the mid 60s in England. Case sold the tooling to the company in India which resulted in the Mahindra tractors.
