Hi Folks
Will be moving to our new acreage in the spring, I want to get a machine, just unsure what I need.
From northern Alberta, Canada, lots of snow in winter and ground is fairly soft being in the trees during rest of seasons.
Info:
5 acres, 1 acre cleared rest is trees. Space is limited.
300m of driveway
Will be doing all the landscaping after build is done. Hauling in fill, topsoil, rocks, etc.
Been clearing the snow with atv and blade thus far, piles and windrows are getting pretty high, so whatever i choose ill be getting a snow blower.
So need a machine for:
landscaping
snow removal
brush removal/cleaning
hauling dirt/gravel
Acreage type stuff.
I first thought a CTL would be good for the soft ground and traction, great maneuverability, can do almost all my list.
Then i thought a CUT with FEL would be good comfort wise, bigger machine, to only have one machine do all, thought maybe the best choice.
Then i seen a Bobcat toolcat, intrigue me a little, kind of a swiss army knife, 2 seats is very cool, son would love to join daddy with duties.
I can only afford to buy one machine and wondering what I should get. Suggestions?
