Thanks Alot for all the very very helpful advice.. I originally thought I could cut the 100 acres with a 8 foot in a weekend....not bloody likely ...
Decided to lease 65 out to a Soy/corn farmer, and plant pine trees on 20 and grass and "hobby farm" ( wifes garden) on 15.
Picked up a 2004 400 hr JD 5105 with MFWD and a FEL for the lawn and small brush cutting. I think its big enough for the little jobs, I get to play farmer and leave the real work to the real farmers. Will get something in the 100 to 125hp (with a cab) later for any real work.
In regards to the 5105 , Im thinking a 8 ft flail for the lawns and property perimeter and rough fields. 7 ft tiller and when we get a house on the property and want nice lawns , get a 10 to 12 ft finish.
Will a little tractor like this handle a 8 ft Box blade or is that too big ??
Are my sizes right or should I go bigger or smaller on the implements??
The ponds....hire a contractor....
Again I really appreciate the good advice
