bought 22 acres in May '10. 10 acres was in rye, rest in woods. I am looking for any information/advice on what horsepower tractor to buy. So far I want to reclaim the crop field and keep it cut for now. I'm thinking I need a quality RFM for that part and a rotary cutter once in a while. The field also needs to be turned and worked for our future yard, garden and playgrounds. How can I find out what is best, disc harrow or tiller and what size tractor do I need . Also need to knock some saplings down to make trails for our grandsons and their toys in the woods. We will also have a 600 foot gravel driveway. They (grandsons) also think I need to build a baseball field, skate park and dirt bike track (not kidding). My greatest fear is buying a tractor too small to do these things. I have looked at the green and orange under 2000 pounds and the over 2000 pounds and not sure what to do. I have 2 lawn tractors to mow around the house, etc. I have a hundred questions, help point me in the right direction. I've been reading as many of posts on this site as I can and it has helped get me to the under and over 2000 pound tractors. Thanks for any and all advice. Fred
