there is no substitute for hp and a front end loader. if you can swing it you will be glad you did
60 acres can be done with any tractor givin time. I have had tractors from 25 to 60 hp. I liked them all and each had their place, but I run 50hp now and wouldn't think of anything less. I do brush mowing, logging, lot of loader work, and I can load a 2ton truck from one side with this size tractor. Have a 7ft tiller, ripper, 6ft bush hog, 3pt 9 inch hyd fed chipper, rock rake, man lift for the loader, and a log splitter I made to handle up to 6ft dia wood which works off the 3pt. Also I took a winch off a log skidder and mounted a 3pt frame to it for the rear. works great.
One other thing I did was mount an 8000 hyd winch in the loader frame. A very handy and usefull tool.
