I've been looking at tractors for several months now. Started off thinking maybe a new compact JD with a loader and 4wd might be nice. I'm sure it would, but I doubt I would use it much. We have only 5 acres and my main use would be using a box blade to work over my 400 foot long gravel drive. Maybe rent or buy a tiller attachment to till areas in the woods for seeding wildlife mixes. Maybe rent a post hole digger attachment sometime. Haul some trees out of the woods. That sort of thing. I did find a real nice Massey 241 with the Perkins diesel in exc shape and only 291 hours. It has a canopy and the seller is asking 8500 USD. I can afford this and some additional to buy the box blade, a lift boom, etc. I think maybe an aftermarket loader will fit this tractor but I don't know if it is really suited for a loader or not. I don't know if this tractor is priced right or not. It is about a 2000 model I believe. THose of you familiar with this model, would it be suitable for my intended use? Is the price in line? Thanks for any advice. BTW, I'm in the Carolinas.
