I am currently in the market for a used machine. I have been debating the CTL or compact tractor road for months now and I thought I had finally made my decision on a used CTL until I started reading all the horror stories on drive motor failures and hydraulic issues. I only have a budget for a used machine most likely in 2000-3000hr I will be using it mainly on my personal property for some land clearing and general construction use. (I also have a mini ex) The land I have tends to be on the wet side so I was thinking the CTL would be a bit of a better fit. So I need a little real world advise on weather a CTL in that HR range wont more than likely end up being a boat anchor. I can work on machines if needed but not to the extent of replacing drive motors etc... Should I reconsider the compact tractor?
