In 35 years of using chainsaws, Power to weight ratio has been a huge issue for me. For storm cleanup, clearing fence rows, cutting firewood my stihl 036 pro (now the 362) has been my go to. I have had smaller saws that have been good for light work, but my Stihl has been great. I just added a...

I got my Massey Ferguson 1736 about 4 years ago. This is not my first tractor but I am definitely more impressed with this than same HP machines from the other brands. It's a fantastic machine often overlooked in the sea of green and orange.

My question, given your small area, is a larger tractor SMALL enough to be handy? I bought my MF1736 utility with...

Jeff said a lot when he mentioned weight. I looked at a lot of kubota and deere tractors in the "35 hp range".... everyone shops HP, but I needed to pull a good sized subsoiler and want real loader capacity. I LOVE my Massey Ferguson 1736 with syncro trans. It will dramatically out pull a...

I will throw in my 2 cents. #1, a good sized compact tractor. Not a sub compact. It will be more versatile across your needs. Things to look for: #1, weight. You are looking primarily for "ground engaging" uses. This takes torque and needs weight to apply that torque to the ground. #2, get a...
