We are looking to buy our 1st tractor. We just bought 2- 2 acres lots in central WI. We are going to build on 1 in 3 years and our son on the other in 5 years. Ours is clear the other is wooded. There are 8 other 2 acre lots that will also be built up.
Behind this we also own 48 acres. Which is why we bought the 2 lots. We were going to build on the 48 acres but when these came up we bought them, to block access to our 48. We were so lucky to get these as they sold very quickly.The 48 has been in the family for 81 years. My grandfather used it as pasture land. Down the road is another 48 my brother owns, which was also my Grandfathers and has a house and some other out buildings. My brother lives in Chicago.
My question, what do we need? Total is over 90 acres. We want to clear the one lot, and put in a yard when we build both build. The one lot has piles of dirt from when they put in the road last fall. The remaining farm land we would like to grow something to attract deer, so hay, corn etc. Also plant some trees. We have 1.. 4-wheeler, and a 3 wheeler. We have a blade on the 4 wheeler that we use in winter to clear our driveway. The one field is pretty rocky.
Our budget is around 15,000 maybe a tad more. My brother did say he would help with payments. So maybe 20,000. What about attachments etc.
My brother thinks an old tractor because they are so easy to maintain. Hubby and I are thinking new so it runs when we want it too.
Thanks for your help.
