Hello everyone,
I'm working on purchasing raw Canadian land which I will need to develop. By develop, I mean put in a driveway, clear a construction site for a house, put in a weaping/leach bed, till the food garden and other tasks which would be much easier with heavier equipment besides me and a shovel.
So I've been introduced to the world of compact tractors because as I am also looking at upgrading my compact car for a pickup truck, I'd like to keep within the size limits of a full size box. Because the landscape will be hilly/sloped and clay/sand, I'm thinking 4WD would be best.
Here's what I'm looking at so far:
1 - Valpadana....Valpadana 4RM-260 4WD Tractor - Kitchener / Waterloo Farming Equipment For Sale - Kijiji Kitchener / Waterloo Canada.
2 - Kubota B6100....Kubota B6100 4WD Diesel Tractor - Kitchener / Waterloo Farming Equipment For Sale - Kijiji Kitchener / Waterloo Canada.
I personally think the Valpadana wins for equal sized meaty tires but I'm concerned about replacements parts.
Also, I should mention that I want to build a portable backhoe Backhoe, Build a backhoe, these plans show you how. which will be dragged around including a small trailer by the compact tractor.
I'm considering this as a long term investment since my experience with my first land will lead to rougher and more raw private land in the future.
Your opinions would be appreciated.
