Gentlemen - thank you for the input. Perhaps I am combining too many tasks for one tractor.
Actually I think it's the opposite. One small tractor will do WAY more than the tasks you've listed. Tractors now are many times more capable than your grandpa's Ford. How much property do you own? Find a buddy who has a 25-50hp 4x4 tractor with a loader who'll let you play around on it. You'll be amazed. Tasks like snow removal, moving materials like soil, gravel, mulch, etc become effortless. Get some pallet forks and move logs, firewood, anything you want to put or buy on pallets. Then there's the three point, mowers, box blades, splitters, tillers, the list goes on. All of that stuff can be bought used too. Get the idea? If you can afford a cut, buy one, but I bet (and hope) you'll find more use for it than 10hrs/yr.
