Any help would be appreciated! This is for food plotting only, running a single shank subsoiler every couple of years (on hard Georgia red clay), a 5 shank chisel plow, disc harrows, a 2 row corn planter and a few other light duty things.
The physical size of these machines is about as big as I can go, but I am content with them and feel they can meet my needs. All our food plots (Less than 10 acres) are on "Paper Company" land and going with too much larger of a tractor would make things a little more difficult. I can't cut tree's down to open up travel ways.
I don't feel that I need 4WD .... a FEL would be nice, but it would be off the tractor 95% of the time for various reasons.
I have chosen these 3 makes & models only because there are dealers within 30 miles of where I will be keeping this tractor and because they are names I am pretty familiar with. Just being in the tire kicking stage, from all appearances, pricing is within $1000 of each other.
Being 56 years old and only wanting to buy one more tractor for this occaisional use, I would appreciate any opinions on which direction I should go! With this hunting property being over 2 hours away from me, I want something that is dependable and will be ready to work when I get down there. I'm the type of guy that doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles, to make me happy.
I'm familiar with tractors, but ones that were pretty much made in the USA and Canada, many years ago. All these new ones, are made in India/Korea or Japan, so your experience will help me a lot!
All advice is appreciated!!
