Never had a tractor so all help would be appreciated. I have about a Half mile of gravel road sloping down hill a little. Rain has overtime washed gullies and ruts (approx 1 foot deep by 1.5 feet wide) in it. From what I read I need a yard box to cut up the road to the bottom of the ruts then re-contour. And the budget is very lean. I have some questions I know to ask and there is probably a multitude I don't even know to ask. How much horsepower? How much weight would be necessary for traction? Would 4wd be mandatory? Then just some basic questions like: Hydrostatic or geared; wet or dry clutches; also I would like to get a belly mower or bushhog and a loader to move the gravel at some point. Thanks for taking the time to help.
