Hello everyone.
I am about to pull the trigger on purchasing my first SCUT. I have a home with lots of property with lots of chores and ideas but I also have a budget, so my wife will not allow me to buy every attachment John Deere offers (although I would like to).
I am definitely purchasing the Bucket and mower deck, thats a given. But here is where I am on the fence and hope some people that have been doing this forever can help me....
My projects for the immediate and far future are as follows: Moving some dirt around and reshaping a back area of my home. Not major earth moving, just leveling down uneven areas, filling in ruts, moving brush, leaves and rocks etc. Moving snow in the winter. Have a huge snowblower but wouldn't mind using the tractor as well. Have very wooded property that has rutted trails to fix as well as wanting to make some new trails. I cut my own firewood, so i need to go in and out of the woods. Will also be moving some nice size boulders out of areas of the property.
With all that in mind and you had to choose a 3rd attachment (already will have bucket and mower) what would you go with? Rear rake, Rear Blade, or something else I am not aware of??
Any input would be helpful. I am new to this and want to make every cent worth it that I spend on this tractor and utilize its full potential.
