I have three primary needs for a small used tractor. Listed in desending order:
1.) Move boats on double axle trailers from a level gravel road in to and around a smooth floor warehouse - Trailer/boat gross weight(s) approximately 6000# - tongue weights 5-600#
2.) Trailer materials around a sloping garden
3.) Potential to use a larger tractor to launch and recover boats/trailers on a concrete boat ramp. Currently using a four wheel drive truck but the approach is down a 5-10% grade, narrow, crooked and visibility is impared.
I have not been on a tractor since my grandfathers 43 Ford. Looking forward to seeing my grandchildren drive a tractor.
I'm thinking a compact or subcompact 4x4. Hours - 5-10 a year.
Your thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
