All,
I'm looking to buy a used John Deere tractor, I know I know, all about what you want; but I don't know what I want. I would also consider a Ford, International or a Massy Ferguson.
I'll give you the basics; 70 acres of land on a rotational intensive grazing pasture, cow-calf operation, boer goats with cotton trailer, chickens in a large cotton trailer, and turkeys in a cotton trailer. This is all on a free range operations and I move all of this to a new paddock every day. Usually the UTV will be able to handle it but during wet weather the tractor may need to be call upon.
Could I get by with a 2 wheel drive or is a 4 wheel required; there isn't any bottom land to speak of.
I will also need a loader to hall round bales, a bucket to carry dirt..ex, and an auger for digging post. If I'm missing something let me know.
I don't want to spend more than $10k and would like to hear from you about what your think. I would like to start looking within the next several months.
Thanks for your feedback.
Regards
Jim D'
