I'm thinking that perhaps I should take a step back. After reading a lot more of the other threads on the forum, I wonder if I wasn't too hasty in settling on the tractor size I did. I have been aiming at a 30HP like the L3130 or L3010, but is that the appropriate size?
I will only have a 5 acre parcel. While I would do a lot of tree clearing prior to and shortly after construction of my house, after that I will probably just be mowing and minor improvements. Should I just size for the mowing needs and rent or pay someone for the clearing needs?
At one time 5 acres seemed huge to me, but after reading about the sizes of property you all take care of, 5 acres doesn't seem so big anymore. I like the idea of getting a big tractor (relatively speaking), but do I really need one this big?
