I am considering the purchase of a MF 1533 for use on 15 acres of land I recently purchased. The land is ~11 acres of field (with 5 years growth) and 4 acres of woods. We plan to build a house within a year, but the land needs some work.
I want to purchase a tractor w/FEL that I can use to work on the land, maintain a long gravel driveway and a tractor that will be plenty strong enough for future projects. I was considering a NH TC30 until I had a chance to test drive a MF1533. The 1533 is $2500-$3500 more expensive, but it is a lot more tractor. NH has some better financing options than MF, but the 1533seems like a better piece of equipment.
I grew up in a family that had several tractors that we used on the farm, but those tractors were sold several years ago. This will be the first tractor that I purchase for myself. I have been reading previous posts on the forum and it seems that those who have the 1533 have had good experiences.
Any thoughts or suggestions on the MF1533? What tractor and implements would you suggest for my situation? Thank you for all of your advice!!
