I have 87 acres of rolling hills, woods and open fields. I maintaines it for years with a 27hp Ford 8N. About 5 years ago I bought a Kioti Dk35 with a FEL and the FEL has been used for more things than I could ever believe.
Many people recommend big HP for small plots but I took the advice of a neighbor who farmed 750 acres with nothing larger than a 65 hp Massey. " Buy the HP you need to do the majority of your tasks, if you need more power for a job now and then, rent it. Why feed 100 horses when you only work 25."
