I have just purchased 33 acres, of which about 23 are completely cleared. I want to keep them cut down, to cut back on ticks, and other things that may make the high brush a home. I'm also going to want to finish mow about 4 of the acres.
I think I've decided that I'm going to need a tractor, but I don't have the $ to go buy a new one, so I'm looking used.
There is a very nice Kubota L1501 for sale around here that comes with a bush hog, and I'm going to go look at it. There are also tons of old Fords (8, 9, 2000's) that look like they're from the 1950's and newer that are in my under $5000 price range.
I'd like to go with a diesel, and don't particularly need 4wd.
My primary uses of it will be bush hogging, finish mowing, front end loading, and possibly some back hoe-ing.
I REALLY need some advice on what size I should go with, and what are some good brands. I'm not picky, and I don't necessarily want to rule out some of the older models. I just want to make as informed a decision as possible.
Thanks for any help!
