Hi, all,
I'm newly moved into my log home, on 6.6 acres some of which is sculpted & some of that is freshly planted in grass which is about 2 in high. I need a tractor--not a wimpy riding mower, but one that will handle brush, push a snow plow or snow blower, carry a bale or two of hay for the horse, pull a harrow or disc or tiller, oh and also cut grass--and maybe dig the occasional hole for landscape additions like trees or steps in a hillside. It needs to handle 2 ft of snow and minus 40 degrees, since I'm in Fairbanks, AK.
This will be my first tractor--so advice is sought! I'm pretty handy and fit, but as a 5'7" female I'm not interested in having to use more of my muscle because I have a piece of equipment that can't handle the work, nor do I want to spend time & $$ dealing with reliability issues. I appreciate all inputs!
