After purchasing our 'forever property' this Summer (70 acres - 30 tillable, 40 timber) I decided to purchase a tractor to help us manage the day-to-day tasks this type of land requires.
After some research, I decided to purchase a New Holland T4.75. The fit-and-finish just seemed quite a bit better vs. the John Deere and Mahindra competition, plus the dealership is close, and I know the owners.
So far, I'm very happy with the machine. It was shipped to us on probably the coldest day of the year. It was about 25 below windchill, and it started right up off of the semi trailer.
I'm pushing snow just with the bucket for now, but plan to get a rear blade soon to help push the snow farther away from the driveway (1/2 mile).
I'm also planning to get a grapple loader for moving fallen trees (I negotiated to have a set of remotes added to the front of the loader for skid-steer implements) and a 3-point rotary cutter for clearing brush/mowing.
Anyway, just thought I'd share - really seems like a great machine so far - but like all things... time will tell!
