Everyone needs a tractor , but most havent realized it yet . TRACTOR : A toy that makes work easier and fun .
Another tack here, I moved to the country when I was in my low 20's. I needed a tractor but didn't get one for a few years. Then I bought a Ford 2N with no live pto, no loader, etc. I killed my back and the rest of my body fighting to get stuff done with inferior equipment.
Get a good modern tractor with a loader.
Biggest mistake I made was I didn't get a tractor sooner.
Cheers.

Do I NEED or WANT a tractor?
Thanks for the feedback.
Replacing the riding lawn mower is the top use for the tractor.
Since our house is on the hill side, there is a dirt ditch behind the house. This needs to be excavated every 1-2 years to prevent water from running onto/into the house.
I would like to dig up a stretch and put in a proper drainage. That job alone IMO requires a backhoe.
And for that job it needs to be a narrow tractor, as it is just enough space for a riding lawnmower to get through.
Maybe a B series Kubota?

If you are going to mow all 2 acres this means either a good ztr or several thousand for a mower $$$Thanks for the feedback.

If that is your only job for a backhoe you might want to consider renting a mini-ex or hiring the job out. Sunbelt rents them for about $1k/month.Since our house is on the hill side, there is a dirt ditch behind the house.
