Been researching and reviewing the forums for quite some time now. Just trying to decide if a compact track loader is right for me.
Im planning on purchasing approximately 20 to 50 acres in the New England area. Planning on having a family compound on the property. I would like to clear the property myself. My father and I did that with my last house.
My thoughts are buying a slightly used CTL. Bobcat, CAT or Deere. At least 60 HP and high flow hydraulics. I want to have the machine to clear the land, move some logs, rent a forestry mulcher and put in (or clear) the driveway. I would also plow with it in the winter. And use for a lot of other uses.
Would this be the right move for me? I feel like I would save money over time purchasing a machine like this.
Would a CTL be the best machine for the job of clearing a few lots?
Thanks!
