We have about 10 acres of pasture to maintain plus a 1500ft gravel driveway. I have a Massey 135 diesel but it keeps having issues. Blowing freeze plugs, clutch not working with pto and 3pt raising by itself.
I need to bush hog the pasture and take care of the driveway and landscape, so a loader is a must. We feed round bales (16 at 4x5) a year.
We are havaing another baby soon and I won't have time for tinkering or fixing much so I'm looking at getting a new tractor. I'd like to keep it under $18,000.
We have established John Deere, Kubota, and Mahindra dealers nearby (Monroe, Nc) and an LS dealer not much further (30 miles). There is also a Kioti dealer nearby that just started selling tractors but is an established lawn mower / commercial dealer.
Any recommendations?
