We just acquired a piece of property in central Wisconsin (read snow), 35 acres in all. 2 -3 acres of lawn, about 1.5 miles of a 10 foot wide trail that runs through the property part of which goes through some swampy areas that needs mowing. In the next few years we will do some landscaping work with stones, develop a water garden, and keep a kitchen garden. There is a half acre pond that needs mowing around, and a 300ft gravel driveway that may be upgraded to asphalt soon that will need to be cleared of snow.
I need input regarding what CUT to acquire for the jobs stated above. I believe I will need a mower, an FEL, an a backblade or boxblade. Tilling and other garden attachments will also be required. Do I need to get a snowthrower too? I have space on the property to dump snow if necessary.
I will limit my options to GREEN, BLUE and ORANGE. My wife will be "driving" sometimes. We will like to keep the cost before taxes to about 15 - 17K.
Thanks in advance for all responses.
