willtel,
At least take a look at Frederick's Tractor in Hartselle, AL - specifically the Yanmar tractors (
Yanmar). Delivery to Atlanta should not be an issue. When I was searching for a tractor I visited their refurbishing facility first and spoke with the owner - it is a very impressive operation. Although Yanmar is a Japanese-made tractor, their engines are ALL over (many of the John Deere tractors have Yanmar engines). From a price point perspective and usage factor, this may be a good option. I have a Yanmar F22D and absolutely love it!
As a side note, Tractorbynet has a very active Yanmar (old) forum that may be helpful.
