One thing that I have learned is that experience is expensive, hence the reason for my post. I now own a ten acre lake on 14 acres of ground with a 30x50 machine shed. Across the street I own 7.5 acres that is V shaped. I am currently planting trees on one of the legs approximatly 550 and I plan on doing the same to the other side next year. I am planning on building a house on this acreage and intend to put a small 1 acre pond on it. On the lake side I have a gravel road on three sides with the remaining side in pasture. Currently I am reinforcing the sides of the lake with concrete rubble to shore up the sides. The lake is 30 ft deep if that thought crossed your mind. OK now you know what I am going to use a tractor for. Mowing, snow removal, concrete movement, dirt and gravel movement. Now for the 60,000 dollar question: How big of a tractor do you guys recommend? Naturally cost is always an issue so I don't want to cut my nose off and buy a tractor to small and on the other hand I don't want to buy more than what I will actually use. Ok one more thing to throw into the mix I am handicapped and my legs don't work worth a hoot so it would be nice to get one with all hand controls but this is not a necessity as just about anything can be modified to work. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. If you can please include model numbers of what you think might work best. One other quick question I have seen on the web that alot of money can be saved by buying out of state. Are the tractor dealers like car dealers and fix it if its under warrenty? i.e can you take it to any dealer for warrenty work? Thanks again.
