"pretty much gave up on my search for push since we have to dethatch, rake, reseed, then roll the lawn due to winter animal damage (damn voles) Now im trying to find a tractor that will fit my needs and my sheds door. John deere seems to be the only one that lists h/w specs for their low end models, but i still couldnt find any pull." Have you checked the other makers websites? Have you asked a dealer? I'm not sure what a pull spec is or how it could possible be measured given the variables. I'm thinking that a single magic number may not be available to answer your question. "I dont need anything massive. For heavy loads, I have an atv. But I would like to be able to aerate and dethatch/rake agressively. So theres that + 250lbs. If I cant find a pull spec, I would like to at least get some opinions on minimum hp reqd. " Minimum HP is pretty much irrelevant to answering your question. Indeed the minimum HP would not be a good idea because it would provide zero power reserve. You need a tractor that will pull certain pieces of equipment. Present you question to either a local dealer or the 800 customer phone line for a given manufacturer and ask for suggestions. "And yes, Height/Weight matters. This house has a shed under our 4 season porch. The owner wanted to be hip and made a mini entrance to it. Pretty frustrating since my toys wont fit in it, so its an official fertilizer and pest killer storage shed + mowers ;)" I'm probably not the only one who has no idea what a mini entrance is or what it measures. And a mower selesman would be similarly puzzled. I would suggest that you write down as precisely as possible what you require in physical dimensions and what kind of equipment you intend to pull. Then simply ask a few different manufacturers and salesmen for recommendations.

In my albeit limited experience, certain manufacturers or item styles are never carried in inventory by any merchant, meaning you will have to wait longer for the item to come from the manufacturer, whether directly (quicker) or via the merchant (slower). This may be what is causing the long lead times for your pulls, in which case going to a different merchant may not speed things up. But... 4-6 weeks is a long time, even for special order, so hopefully this is an issue specific to eFaucets. I, like you, needed my cabinet pulls in a hurry and I ended up buying most of them from a local hardware/home store. I really liked being able to see and feel them and take them home to try out before purchasing the whole lot and know that I am much happier as a result with my choices than had I gone the online route. I see that you live in NoVa, and I'm guessing that there are probably some high-end hardware/home stores in your area? Sorry I can't recommend any as I'm not from there. If you are definitely going with the Baldwin pulls, you can go to the Baldwin website to find dealers in your area:http://www.baldwinhardware.com/Where-to-Buy.aspx

Oh dear, I didn't mean to suggest that Rocky Mountain stuff will cure cancer, sorry if it came across that way. My sibling who is a design pro advised me that in choosing between that with which one "is completely in love" and a "less expensive version" one should try to see the "real thing" in person in order to make an informed decision. I've tried to heed this advice where possible, and have chosen the "real thing" sometimes and the "substitute" version other times. Sometimes after seeing both I've found the "substitute" preferable for reasons other than cost. Then again, I'm the kind of person who actually would get a kick out of browsing the hardware store so YMMV. (There was some Sugatsune stuff I really wanted and $$$$ but ended up going another direction.)
