A while back I started the post below:
Deer Camp Tractor
Money was an issue back then, but now there isn't due to a little cash cow.
So here is what I want to do:
Bushhog and disc 30+- acres (lots of ground engaged work)
Plant deer crops
Clear some Katrina debris
FEL work - 4WD a must
Fill ruts and road erosion on hill
In 7-9 years we will be cutting 175 acres of mature pine. Need to do some cleanup duty. I will be burning a lot of it afterwards. Maybe a d-6 would best for this.
Don't want a cab.
I was thinking something in the 55-70 hp range.
Oh yeah I need implements too!
Size trailer? I have a 2500 diesel.
I also want something that is EASY to operate. I don't have much if any tractor experience. But I have relatives that are diehards for 50+ years. They will get me going.
I was thinking about the new Kubota M line up. I was also thinking about the big Mahindras, but I have 2 Orange dealers within 25 minutes. I just want something that is going to go the distance and hold up.
So let me have it!
