I think you'll like the 5325 for that kind of work. They're nice tractors, lots of well thought out maintenance and convenience design on them.

Engines have been trouble free except for fuel filters, starters, alternators, water pumps etc.

Reverser pretty rugged as noted,

Transmission has lots of choices of speeds, we never use anything but C range. Do be careful with the park. If someone slams it into park, it can snap the pawl. Haven't had trouble with the 5325, yet.........One of the 20 series tractors still has no park.. We fixed the first one and it's a bitch to get into them to replace it too. Tractor was holding a cable tow irrigator and driver knocked it out of park and when it took off backwards, he didn't think, quickly slapped it back into park. Amazingly, it caught and popped the pawl. The one that's not holding now, probably has a spring broken instead of the pawl.
