Jay: I am on my third CUT (Compact Utility Tractor) and none of them have been POS. All were 4wd. Because of its age the oldest (Ford 1910), was manual shift with ag tires. The newest is a New Holland TC45A with shuttle shift transmission and ag tires. In my experience the secret of not tearing up lawns is to use 4wd only when needed and cut your front tires so they almost have no lug. Watch when the tractor turns on sod, it is the front tires that give you the little tufts of sod. I have stayed with manual transmissions; I'm too old to change and still know how to shift. Besides for me it is easier to repeat my speed in a shuttle operation, like loading. All of your CUTs will have power steering. On the newer Fords and NHs for example, they have separate pumps for the power steering and the hydraulics. There are good usable used 4wd CUts out there for under $10K. In my experience repairs and breakdowns are almost non-existent.
