I am looking to become a tractor owner. My dad and I have almost 40 acres of heavily wooded land. Much of the property is steep especially in some of the draws/drainages. We are considering getting a used skid-steer as well. Much of the flatter land has been over taken by blackberry including the area we started clearing last year with weed eaters. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos when the blackberries were 4-6 feet tall.

Were planing on putting a small orchard in this area and cleared out the trees. but there are still a lot of blackberry roots in the ground. I was thinking that a cultivator behind a tractor might be a good way of weeding them out. The soils are loamy and light but there is a fair bit of rock.

Future anticipated uses for the tractor would be seeding area with grass. Brush hoging blackberries after getting a hand on them with a skid-steer. Preparing ground for a garden. If we get a skid-steer I would probably not get an FEL. My main question is what size of a tractor should I get? I have been looking at the Kubota B series but don't know if this would be big enough. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. We will probably not be looking to buy until spring.
