I would like a tractor to clear/prep an area for a house, maintain roads, clear some areas, plant maybe 10-15 acre garden for personal use and sales, mow about 10-15 acres, maintain/work on pond, put up fence, other?
Depending on the size of the area being preped/cleared for a house you might be much better off to hire this out and save the tractor for the other tasks.
Right now we are building a house, admittedly in steep terrain, in OR, and my first thought was to do the prep work myself. My dealer strongly suggested getting someone else to do it, and a contractor with a bulldozer, a large trackhoe, a compactor, and a 4 or 5 cubic yard FEL has done in two weeks what I now realize would have taken me several years...
