I have 20 wooded acres, about 1/2 acre cleared with my house, the rest is 2-3 acre flat, 1-2 acre low meadow, rest slopes - some steep.
I built the house myself over 2 years and bought a case 580E to use. now that the house is done and there is a yard around the house the 580 is way, way to big for the upcoming projects: building raised bed gardens, putting in fruit trees, putting in small retaining walls, putting in small fish/duck pond (20' round x 2' deep), hauling firewood, putting in landscape stones (steps).
Fence posts.
Now the dilemma !
Even though I have 20 acres, my working area's are small (20' wide strip
out at the road for fruit trees, "lanes" between the gargens will be 6-8',
clearing as little amount of trees for "food plots, blue berry bushes"
So the Kioti 20HST was looking real "cute" and able to zip around all my paths, gardens, coops, sheds, etc. but will I out grow it in 2 hours ?
1) I know nothing will match the Case 580E (lifting 20' sea containers at idle)
But will the CK20/Mahindra 2015 be to small for My garden/landscape/food
plot/firewood projects ??
2) Is the CK30/Mahindra 2615/Cub EX3200 really that much bigger then
the CK20 that I will find it wont fit where I need it to go ?, and the CK20
will ??
3) is the only reason not to buy the larger tractor price ? or will the smaller
tractor be more productive in my case. for some reason the CK20 looks
like it could really zipp around in My tight area's ?
Thanks
