    So confused ;) L4701 vs. MX5800 vs. M5660

    For the tasks you list, Horsepower consideration is only directly related to the brush hogging. Everything else is size and weight, with bigger and heavier also having more HP. "Work will mostly be non-ag - tree stumps- ponds, trenching and drains"- these are backhoe chores and best done...
