I recently bought around 4 acres that is on rolling hills (may buy another 20 behind my property soon). I am trying to determine if I should buy a tractor based on some of the projects that I want to complete on the property. I am currently in the middle of leveling a big piece of property on the side of the house for a shed and a large patio. All of this work is being done using a mini excavator that I rented. I still have some grading / compacting and some drainage work to do and am not liking how much I have to pay for renting. I have additional places that I want to level out as well close to our pond and we will be putting in some more sand there on the mini beach. I also have some trench work that needs to be done for drainage on the back of the property as well as for running electric down to the front of the property. I have a 400' driveway that is gravel. It is pretty compacted so I have only had to do a little bit of fill in certain areas with gravel but box blade would make maintenance of it easier. I have been using a zero turn for all of the lawn maintenance but a bush hog would be nice for the back field. We eventually plan on doing fruit trees and a garden on the back side of our property so a tiller would be nice for the garden. We have a lot of trees we want to plant / several that need to come down.
It seems like a tractor is one of those things that can do a little of everything with the right implements but is not great at anything. Would you all recommend a tractor and if so how do you determine the size to get. I know this isn't an easy question to answer but I thought I would start scanning the forum for advice.
Thanks,
