We are first time farmers buying 9 acres of stone fruit & apple orchards. We are buying the various tillers, flails, pruners and other attachments and implements from the current farmer but have chosen not to buy his tractors, his loader or his forklift. What he had were 3 New Holland 4wd tractors (1620, 3830, 4430) and one John Deere 2wd w/loader, 5ft bucket and forks (2040), he also had a loader and a forklift, although not employees and claims not to have used laborers. So he used all of these himself.
We want to see if we can replace his collection with a Bobcat or something similar & a utility vehicle w/3 prong hitch and a nice "newer" tractor that my wife and i, again beginners, can use and learn to master safely. Any suggestions on the tractor (or alternative configurations?
Thanks in advance.
