Hello again,
I am still trying to decide which tractor will best suite me & my needs both now and in the future.
as i had posted a few weeks ago, these are some of the requirements....
1. to blow snow of about a 500 foot lane
2. to mow a large lawn
3. to plow & till a new garden (personal use size)
4. to some various landscaping
5. upgrade and maintain some paths/roads/trails through the wooded areas.
6. haul a wagon full of fire wood
after much, much, much thought..... i have decided (based on a lot of excellent knowledgeable input from you fine people) to can the lawn mowing idea and go with a larger sized tractor.
i have also decided i would like to have a backhoe implement as well, as i will be doing a fair amount of irrigation/drainage work + underground electrical and trenches for heat pumps, etc.
I am seriously close to purchasing a JD 3038e with 305 loader, 7' back blade & brand new snowblower for a very good price.
the things that are stopping me are the backhoe thing. As from what i can tell, a 3 pt backhoe is not a great set-up. + it looks like the 3038 is not the ideal tractor for adding a backhoe to.
i have seen some kioti's similar in price with a backhoe + loader + front plow.

what do you guys recommend i do?
thanks, you have been such a great help
