Hey everyone!
I'm new to the forum and hope some of you will take the time to give me some advice.
I just recently purchased 45 acres that was timbered a couple of years ago and pine was planted. The pine is very, very small but the land does have a lot of briar on it and stumps from mid-sized (6"-8"?) hardwoods. The land has a moderate amount of brush as well as large logs with branches piled together in a few various locations.
I am considering buying a tractor to clear the land of all of that and prepare it for seeding for horse pastures, installing fencing, and clearing for a road. The land has some slope to it down to the creek and up but not too severe.
Any suggestions on the tractor and the necessary implements would be greatly appreciated. I'm not even sure if a tractor can accomplish what I need and maybe I might need to rent the correct equipment and buy a tractor to handle the everyday horse farm tasks. I thought I could get a tractor to handle the initial clearing and then I would be able to transition into the daily tasks with the same tractor. I'm beginning to think this is not the right approach.
Thanks in advance!
Todd
