Experienced friend of mine looking at second smaller tractor said the JDeere he looked at had an aluminum trans case, diff case and axle tubes. He passed. Check this for yourself, I dunno, but you want weight in a tractor for traction and counterweight for a FEL. Load the rear tires, not the fronts. Consider R4 tires unless you’re gonna be farming. R4’s much easier on turf in and around your yard if that’s the area you work
Look at the undercarriage for vulnerable stuff like hoses, lines, valves etc. Skid plates and belly pans are your friends here.
If you’re new to tractors, be damned careful, these things kill somebody every day!!
