I started a thread yesterday for advice on 2 tractors but I'm not actually sure now that those will be heavy enough so I will start over with my searching and I could use some help.
I am looking for something heavier than my current Farmtrac 785DTC (loaded rears). I need to be able to push old, wet hay and horse poop into big piles to be picked up but I have to be able to drive through some semi deep mud and the farmtrac wouldn't be up to the task as quickly as I would like it done. The loader is lacking and only has a lift capacity of 3600lbs.
A few of the other tasks that I need to do are dirt moving, crushed stone moving, using my EA 8' box blade to rip up some of the stone driveway, snow plowing etc etc. I've been given the go ahead to buy 1 machine under 40k and I do need a third tractor regardless. I know all these jobs could probably be done easier with several different machines or renting machines but the jobs are so spread out and weather dependent that it makes it difficult to coordinate renting. I would rather get a big enough tractor that could handle it all but the bulk of what I need it for is the manure moving through wet clay areas. Any suggests??
