Like many others I've seen, my wife and I purchased 57 acres and will begin building our home in July 05. Will maintain and Snowblow a 660ft. driveway, do virtually no mowing but will brush hog sides of drive as well as 5 acre field. Also, will use loader, tiller, post hole auger and would like capability to use as tractor in woods on maintained skidder roads., possibly in future hauling out firewood and skidding logs for timber sale. 4wd is a must. I've been to the JD web site ---lots of info---I like the 990, 4710 or larger and even the 5105.. Will eventually have a front mount snowblower even though the cost is double. Looking for some input from others outthere. Excellent forum from what I've seen so far. I was up way too late for the last several nights reading many, many posts. So glad to have found this site.
