That looks like a very fine way to split wood. It sound like mowing with the 9540 has already been ruled out. After all those years in a cab you might miss it too. Maybe you should be looking for a slightly huskier cabbed tractor with more weight, lift, and axle capacity?
I can relate to your dilemna about having two tractors. Two years ago I bought a small 35hp CUT with an HST & R4s for working in tight quarters around my place and kept my larger 53 hp utility tractor because it has double the loader lift and maybe triple the traction with loaded R1s. Also because it was long paid for and I didn't know if I was going to like the HST. The bigger one gets hardly used now because the smaller one is handier for most chores. I've only put about 25 hrs on the larger one this year. Now I'm actually considering moving to a model in between the two with either an HST or hydraulic shuttle and R1's and sellling both of my current tractors. Being primarily a weekend and occasional evening user I feel I could be happy just owning and maintaining one tractor again. Plus it'll free up some more space in the barn.
As our jobs evolve over the years so does our tractor fleet. That is what keep the dealers in business:thumbsup: and our wives shaking their heads
