I will be buying my first tractor this year and and I have been researching for months but there are so many choices it is a bit overwhelming. It will be used on a 160 acre property with about 40 acres open fields and the rest wooded. I have some pollen allergies so I will be getting one with a cab, but nothing else is carved in stone. It will mostly be used for brush hogging the open fields and reclaiming some fields that are getting overgrown with Russian Olive. Since there are some overgrown fields I think a lift type brush hog would be best. From what I have read, it appears that to power a fairly heavy duty lift type brush hog I need at least 40 HP PTO. From talking to tractor owners and from what I have read online, a Kubota seems like a good choice. I am leaning toward either a Grand L4740 or a M5040. I will probably also get a FEL with it. Sorry if this seems long winded, but from reading the posts on here, it seems the more info I give the better you can help, so HELP please.
