Looking for a \'bota
Hi Everyone. I am a newbee looking to buy a tactor. I have almost 4 acres, about 1 acre of which is wooded. The rest of the property is fairly level, with a creek running through it that occassionally needs to be cleaned out.
I will mostly need a tractor for mowing, as I beat the heck out of my riding lawnmower. Seems I get close to 3 years worth of service from it before they die.
The work I anticipate doing with a tractor is:
building/maintaining 1/2 acre to acre of garden,
mowing (once a week during warm weather)
digging a foundation for a 3 car garage
snow removal
moving wood (yearly for our stove)
creek maintenance
and of course... the honey do list, i.e. building a stone patio, flower beds, etc.
I was thinking along the lines of a B7800 with a FEL, MMM, and possibly a back-hoe. Although the BX line seems fine, I am worried that the BX might be to small.
Any thoughts on if my sizing in the B7800 seems correct, and what would one go for with the implements I have chosen?
Thanks in advance to all,
Ira
