I am looking a buying a used tractor for a small farm about 34 acres. I will use the tractor for bushhogging (like a 6-7'), maintaining the gravel road and removing snow (7' or 8' rear blade, running a auger for fence post holes, and moving some hay rounds on a fel for our horses (probably 1000-1300 lbs.) I was looking at tractors with 4 wheel drive and sychro shuttle in the 45 pto range - like a ford 3930, agco 5650, mf 243. I don't want to buy a larger tractor than I need since the shed for the tractor is small and I will not be using it for any real heavy work. But by the same token I don't want to overwork one that is to small. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
After reading the comments on the site about rear blades I will probably get a Monroe. For the bush hog I am looking at the Bushhog 270 series or a Medium duty Woods. Any comments related to these choices would be appreciated.
