Get a nice Ford 8n,9n,NAA with appropriate shredder. Would be under $2,000 in good running condition. I see 20 a week listed on my local Craigs here in Texas. That's what I wanted to get myself but I found a cool little Satoh Beaver for $1,800 with shredder ready to work. It would be perfect for your 3 acres, I mowed down 20 acres with it. It took about 15 hours but would knock out 3 acres in about 2 hours or so. Just a little 15hp 2 cyl diesel, 2wd with 48" Bush Hog shredder in the back. I don't have a FEL (front end loader) and would like one, but not for this tractor. If I get a FEL, I'm getting something more in line with a Ford 3000/6000 something with 45HP+. I have my eye on a Leyland with 88HP but it's $5,000 and I don't really need it.
