I recently spent some time surfing to educate myself on the steps from lawn , to garden, and compact tractor. There's a lot out there . The most confusing to me is the JDeere range- reminds me of the Mercedes model nomenclatures ( maybe in price , too:smile
Anyway. A real service to readers might be a definition chart with some models and ball park prices, especially some background on brands:mahindra, kioti, cub cadet, etc. Perhaps this is not the forum for this, rather "tractorbynet?"
Money is the great separator of tractor choice. As one "tractor journalist"put it. Unless you are careful you will have an $1800 boat anchor (example was trying to pull plow with garden tractor) or a $20K lawn mower.

I bought the 3010 Kubota 4wd with a front end loader on it. It has 600 hours on it. Everything appears to be in good shape. It runs good and has good tires on it. It is a 30 hp tractor. It weighs in at 2700#'s so it is heavy enough to pull a box blade and a 5' disc as well as a 5' bush hog. Yet it is light enough to trailer easy.
I have not hired out a tractor in years but I am told by several that the going rate for a tractor that size is $50/hr with a 2 hour minimum plus hauling for over 10 miles. We will see.
In our part of the world there is a considerable amount of work to be done in another couple of months getting hunting club roads and food plots ready for deer season.
