60 HP tractor big enough for 200 acres?

[FatTire]

I was gonna get AG tires but the Dealer talked me out of them, he looked at my property and said the Industrials that came on the Kioti would be the best fit so i went with it..

Only attachment im getting now is the loader of course, box blade and a 6 foot finish blade i already have...

Of course i want a grapple, backhoe, hole digger, mower, etc...but I want to get to know what the heck im doing on the tractor before i do all that so i buy the right attachments, dont want to buy twice

What are you planning for snow removal?

What are you planning for snow removal?

Just the bucket for now, I don't really get a ton of snow all the time, just when a big storm hits

I cleared my driveway pretty easily this year with just my pickup dragging a bed frame..haha

Rear blades are really cheap, I picked a 6ft off CL for 200, I would have liked a 7ft but the 6 does just fine and makes snow removal much easier than the bucket.

But that tractor should be able to pull a few king sized box springs give those old bed bugs a ride.

I assume you know not to use the bed frame if your wife is in the bed?
Remember that you are only the King until the Queen comes home.....

Howdy,

I have been reading this site for a few months before joining, really like this community so hello!

I purchased about 200 acres in Montana a few months ago and never had a tractor before, im pretty handy and can run equipment but never owned a tractor.

Property is about 50% wooded and 50% pastures with some rolling hills here and there...I plan on doing some hobby farming (in the future/maybe), food plots for deer, build and maintain some roads, clear snow, move rocks, logging (lots of logging) and just whatever else comes up

I currently leaning towards the Kioti NX6010 but am fairly open to a good machine at a decent price. The reason i stoped looking at bigger than 60 hp is the lack of Hydrostatic transmisions on them, once o drove the hydro i knew i HAD to have that, I want my wife to be able to use it also, hydro is MUCH easier

included a few pics of the property so you can see what ill be dealing with

Yes it is nice, and not really raw land, so I think you could get by with a 60 Hp tractor. You could rent equipment for the big jobs.
