I'm late to this party since I just got my 1st tractor this spring. I bought this '84 1710 4X4 with 1023 hours, now has 1043. I put the used $600 Chinese wood
chipper on it and got rid of more manzanita in a few hours than
months of using my truck and a chain and a burn pile. I'm just a hobby land owner, 40 acres of forest with a mangled trail going through it somebody haphazardly made many decades ago. I hope to acquire a box blade soon but no rush since I'm basically snowed out until it thaws (5500' elevation). I think it's a good size for me, small enough for my garage and easy towing, large enough to do basically everything I need it to do. Will turn that wood
chipper for 6 hours on 2.5 gallons of diesel. Here's my pic, sadly it has my ugly mug on it.
