Im looking to buy a garden tractor, i dont care what kind but i want something that i can attach a plow to the back to plow our garden. I was wondering how much a gardeb tractor goes for, what is the best kind and where i could look for one, thanks!
Answer
A plow needs some pretty good tractive effort. You will need some heft, a locking diff and/or 4wd. Some of the small utility reactors can do this, New Holland (Ford), Kubota, etc.
For a rototiller, you can go down to a lawn and garden tractor. Look at the mid range Cub Cadets (2500 series and Up) and similar. Ideal is a hydraulic tiller, most lawn and garden are driven by belt. Very few use a mechanical or hydraulic PTO like a big ag tractor would.
Lawn and garden for lots of tilling, plan on at least $3000. Small utility tractor, plan on $8000. Some people like the grey market tractors...I'm not a big fan but they are cheap.
There are some cute little plows made for small tractors, even walk behind tractors...pretty much worthless for anything more than digging a seed furrow.

Answer
You want enough Horse Power as possible with a HD transmission. I would steer away from hydrostatic transmissions beings they are the most expensive to repair.A manual transmission gives you the range from low , med or high . I spent $2200.00 repairing a Hydrostatic transmission on a Diesel lawn tractor. Damage was caused by pulling a 12' utility trailer with tree debris ( about 400 lbs ).
Sounds like a fun sport.How about a 4wd diesel model instead.
