Hi all,
I need your advice on a tractor selection.
I have about 1 ac of garden to cultivate, some excavation
work for tree planting, post hole digging, 1000' driveway to maintain etc.
Other future uses would be to maintain 30 acres of farmed fields
(probably will set it for hay; a few acres of wheat).
My problem is selecting one tractor to do all of the above.
For garden, light excavation work B2610 looks like more than enough.
For 30 ac of fields I would need something like M4800.
Question #1: Would B3200 (32HP) be ok to plow (moldboard, 4 blades),
run 6'-8' disc, 6' cultivator/tiller, or run a small square baler?
Question #2: Would B2610 (24HP) be able to run 4' tiller or run an
entry level post hole digger?
Can I do all of the above with B3200 (previous model B7800)? Or I really
need two tractors, one for the garden, flower beds, fruit trees and such, and
one for "real" farms fields?
I don't worry much about the time it would take me to plow those 30 acres,
but I'm not sure if I can pull a pull-type combine or run a small square baler
with a B3200 (32HP)?
For moving around the house, I know I'll get a separate mover.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Peter
