Hi everyone,
I have been pricing tractors for a while. I have found a 30 hp with TLB and a 25hp sub compact with TLB. Both new and great prices. We have 4 acres on the side of a mountain. The house and yard are on 3/4 of an acre. The rest is heavily wooded with lots of downed timber. The yard also has a lot of stumps and needs finish grading. It also takes the state two days to open our roads in a snowfall. I was looking at buying a Mahindra 3016 and using it to do all the big work for the next few years. Then when I get the property straight, trading it down to a 2516 or other brand equivelant model. The 30 hp would be a little big getting around in the woods and the smaller of the two would probably work, just take a little longer to do the jobs. We do not need to cut grass with it since we really have no grass right now. We would probably buy a used rider later on anyhow.
What do you all think? I have a lot of huge oak stump and massive rocks to dig and move. Along with dragging timber. I could definately use life experience on this one. Thanks everyone and have a great evening.
