Buying Advice BX2660 Going to be too small?

[TripleR]

Thanks for the replies. Some more info...

The ground is wide open field with some slopes but nothing crazy steep. I already have a loader, 54" underbelly and rear 48" blower for the white stuff. the future driveway is marked out and is 350' long, 10' wide.

I will have quite a bit of grading and re-grading to do on the property after the house, driveway build and geothermal trenching so a box blade and landscape rake are most likely in the cards (as well as a rear hydraulic remote based on what I have been reading to make it much easier to use the box blade).

The entire property is 12 acres with 90% field. I won't be mowing all of it but for sure it will be a solid half being mowed. The boys want a place to play soccer so the field where the geothermal piping will be installed will most likely be re-graded to reduce the slope somewhat. Had some lengthy chats with the local dealer and of course they want me to upgrade but at the end of the day, I would be spending 7 - 10k more for a larger machine and would have to change out my implements for larger models. I am leaning hard towards a used zero turn 60" to add to the stable ($3-4k),.... or a used 2wd tractor with a rear 72" finish mower (under $7k). With the boys helping out, it would make things a lot quicker. Can you really have too many tractors?!

I suppose in theory you can, but in real life, I'm not so sure.:laughing:

For a lot of years, I used a lawn mower and Ford NAA with 84" RFM to keep our place mowed. If you can find a good used 2WD tractor, you can do a lot of work in addition to mowing. My brother does all of his box blade work with a Ford 600. Massey Fergusons are really good reasonably priced older tractors.

There are a lot of guys with more expertise on here who can help with your selection if you go that route.
