i recently was fortunate enough to buy 86 acres of land for hunting, camping and playing. it will be a weekend getaway for my family of 5.
i now need equipment. i plan to farm an 8-10 acre dove field, 4 deer/turkey food plots from 1/2 - 1 1/2 acres, maintain some roads and who knows what else. the terrain is red clay with hills and rocks.
i suspect i need around a 50 hp tractor with 4wd, but i really don't know. i finally have my dream place, and i am not getting any younger and neither are my kids. so, i want to have a good tool for the job. also, i have lots of wants on this place - pond, cabin, barn - so i don't want to spend all my money on one thing, but i don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish either.
where do i go from here in buying a tractor?
thanks in advance for your thoughts.
