Intended uses: snow plowing and breaking out roads for sugaring. hauling sap, fire wood. and a few logs, brush hog, possible haying. Food plots for deer planting and maintaining. Till or plow a few gardens and potato patches and what ever else comes up on 70 acres of hilly old farmland. Plowing here can be quite a chore with stopping and picking up the plows to get off a rock you hooked up with. I'm past the age of being in a hurry so if a tractor bogs down a bit now and then I wouldn't notice or care. Only place it might matter is pulling a baler and kicker wagon loaded up some of the hills in the gravel roads.What are your intended uses? It may seem silly but the extra 10 hp can be very handy if you intend to do a lot of pto work. Even tillage work it is helpful, keeps you moving forward instead of bogging down as quickly. For my use the 45 was plenty since it will mainly be used for post pounding and pulling a 4 basket tedder and a side delivery rake. Maybe a 5 or 6 foot rotary cutter or weed sprayer but nothing too challenging.
I like that post pounder set up in your picture. Who carries them?
