Thanks for all the responses!
I'm in Ontario, very little tractor experience.
Near to the new farm is Kubota and New Holland Dealerships. Probably JDeere but I haven't looked one up.
I've only used an ATV for snow removal, manure handling and pull behind mowing.
Budget is about 15,000 for a tractor with snowblower or blade included. I'm wondering which would suit our drifting blowing snow on 100' drive (very much out in the open except right next to the house)
Would a Kubota B or BX series be right? No haying for me, will lease land. There is about 7 acres of bush but otherwise very flat open land, no slopes of any kind, boggy in the middle.
Once again, thanks! I'd like to buy once and hopfully have no regrets and something I can build on as required.
Moving hay bales--that may be the task that sizes your tractor. What size bales are we talking--small squares (<100 lb), big squares (~500 lb), small rounds, large rounds?
You can move bales with a hay fork either on the 3pt hitch in the rear or attached to your FEL arms in the front. Which way to you prefer?
