Trying to decide what to buy for my 5 acre property that's about two thirds wooded with heavy underbrush in the woods.
I already have a riding mower so I won't be using the tractor for that job.
I've been considering the BX23 with FEL and backhoe but I'm concerned it won't have the umph for pulling stumps and grading. I'm also concerned with the ground clearence - I have areas with heavy rutting & I don't want to be scraping the ground with the tractor.
The dealer near me has a 2001 L4310GST with LA681 FEL for 15,900 - is this nuts for such a small lot? I'd also be giving up the backhoe I'd get with the BX23 - wife won't let me spend the money for a backhoe for the L4310.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
David
