As I am now down between Green and Orange, I want to get your thoughts here on the above 3 units. I have done the basic research and understand the spec differences between the 3 units above. Probably about a $5K difference betwenn L6060 & MX vs. the M4D, all comparably equipped (Cab, 4wd, FEL, box blade, tire ballast, radio). New to the tractor world, but a quick learner. Want to buy right the first time and minimize buyers remorse:laughing:
I will repeat it here, but uses of the tractor will be for a 34 acres property of which about 20 will be pasture. The remaining acreage is mostly trees on a slope, which will be used for trail rides and ATV trails. Business is equestrian boarding and lessons. 2 barns will be constructed, one for the horses, another smaller one for storage of hay (square bales) and implements/vehicles. Gravel drive maintenance, some light brush hogging, and FEL and equestrian farm routine work will be the majority of the tasks. I definitely do not want to buy too little, but is it worth the extra $$ to go all the way to the M4D? I want stability for the slopes (widen the stance is a must), but also be nimble enought to go through the barns easily. I will eventually want the 3rd function to get a grapple to help remove the dead trees in the wooded sections. I have read the couple of threads related to this one that have recently been posted and they have been very helpful. My gut is telling me L6060 or M4D, but need a little more from those of you who have experience with these models. Thanks so much for your help in advance.
