I have approximately 50 acres, 15 in meadow and the rest woods, and would like to purchase a tractor with the following attachments: tiller, front end loader, brush hog, and wood splitter. I would use the tractor for:
Tilling about an ½ acre
Loader work—turning compost, moving gravel, etc.
Rough cutting (hilly ground)—about 10 acres
Maintaining 1,200 foot driveway
Occasionally pulling logs out of the woods
Splitting wood
I’d like to know how much horsepower I would need, and if it pays to get a tractor with automatic transmission. (I’ve always driven a car with automatic transmission and my riding mower is also automatic).
Thanks for your help.
