  2. As a vineyard owner, I'm in search of tractors that are both compact and capable of navigating tight spaces. The John Deere 3020 has piqued my interest because of its excellent fuel economy. On the other hand, I'm also looking at the John Deere 4040, which boasts a robust engine. The Kubota B2601 offers impressive maneuverability, while the John Deere 2210 appears to be well-suited for the upkeep of smaller vineyards. I'm now contemplating whether the John Deere 430 would serve as a more advantageous choice for long-term investment. Which model would you recommend?
