I am looking for a utility type tractor to use on my hunting club in Ga. Functions will be pulling a 7/8 ft. medium weight disc harrow and a 10' field cultivator as its heavier implements. Soil types will be primarily sandy with some area of harder clay. Since some of the work will be done in the woods so I would like to stay with as small a footprint as possible and still have the power to handle those implements well.
Now to complete the picture I grew up on a small subsistence farm in La. using Farmall 100's. When soybeans became profitable we jumped straight to JD 4020's and 5020's (boy big jump). Im my own time I have owned 4430, 4630 and 4840 tractors, all big stuff so I can truthfully say I have never used a small tractor for tillage work, that's why I need some input.
I am looking at a couple of 70' vintage 2240's that I really like but need some feedback on this 50hp class of tractor. I know bigger is better but size is important. Thanks in advance.
