Hey Folks,
Buying a new house in NH at the back of 6 acres on top of a gently sloping hill. 1200 feet of hard packed gravel driveway and most of acreage is field grass. Already decided (after 30 seconds of imagining snow plowing/blowing a 1200 foot driveway at night in a nor'easter) on the B3030 with cab. So, do I get and use the 60" snow blower or the front blade for snow plowing and do I get the 72" mid mower or a rear mount bush hog for grass cutting? I also need to have a pallet fork attachment to unload an occasional delivery for my solar heating business, so do I get the loader without the bucket and just the pallet forks or add it to the bucket and keep it for whatever? I suppose I'll also need the box scraper to maintain the driveway. Don't want to go overboard with attachments, but want to get the necessities up front so I can get the best 'package deal' pricing. Thanks for any ideas or past experience in this.
