My old tractor died Tired of repairing old equipment but the new ones can get a bit expensive. Advise needed.
I need to maintain about 50 ac but I want it small enough to get into tight places along the creek with an old shredder to clear.
I think a 35 to 50 horse power will be enough to pull a 6 to 7 foot shredder or a plow. Looking at new...but not opposed to one a few years old.
So far I have looked at the New Holland, Farm Trac and Kubota...and an older Ford
Don't want to be constantly repairing and replacing parts...so what problems do I look out for and which models do I avoid?
Thanks
