Good afternoon all. I need some advice purchasing my first tractor. I own a little more than 7 acres, entirely flat - about 5 acres is pasture. I plan to use the tractor mainly for mowing, some light tilling (about an acre), and maybe some snow/gravel moving. Nothing too taxing.
As this is my first tractor, I'd like to get something older that would allow me to service it myself (I did not grow up around tractors, but consider myself mechanically competent). I suppose a live/independent PTO would be ideal. Budget would be in the sub-$4K range.
Are there particular makes/models out there that lend themselves to what I'm looking for? Thanks for your help.
