Im about to close on a house and 35 acres. About 19 acres is heavily wooded and 16 acres is crossfenced pastures. I plan on putting a couple head of cattle on the pastures and fencing off about 5 acres for food plots and an acre or 2 for a garden. I will mainly use the tractor for moving around brush and down trees, there are alot of them. using the shredder around the pond and in the pastures, discing the food plots, tilling the garden, moving round bales in the winter, and using a spreader to seed winter grass and food plots. I may occasionaly grade the gravel road but i dont forsee having to do it often. To do all this ive been reading i need at least a 40 horse tractor. Ive been looking at 2 tractors, the Kubota MX5100 and Mahindra 4530. I was quoted $22,000 for the 5100 4wd with a loader, 6 ft shredder, and canopy. The 4530 4wd is $25,000 with a loader, 6 ft shredder, box blade, and disc. Id like to stay around the low to mid 20's as far as price. Im open to other tractors so if yall know of any feel free to suggest. thanks.
