Hello everyone,
I'm interested in your advice on the following. I have aproximately 14 acres that has about 5 acres cleared that is presently being farmed, a 1 acre pond and another 7 acres that is an old cutover tha I will probably clear for a homesite. The 7 acres is somewhat hilly, with all kinds of underbrush and 10 foot pines that have volunteered. The pond and the cleared land are at a lower elevation. There is about a 30 foot drop to this part of the property at a 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 slope. Other information: Land is rocky. I may be able to purchase another 14 acres beside it that looks identicle. Also, my brother has a 4320 and several implemets that we can share. I could purchase a few that he doesn't have and between us we'd hae a pretty good variety of tools for most jobs. That could be considered a benefit. However, I'm not sure if its enough to go the extra mile for a 4320 when all I have is 14 acres at this point. There's no guarantee that I'll buy the other land. Would a 30 series tractor be able to pull the same attachments as the 4320. It looks like some folks on here are going for the 2520 with similiar acreage. What's the least amount of tractor that could use the sam implements as the 4320? Thanks in advance for all your help. This appears to be a great forum.
