Hello everyone, new here..
I just bought a little 1.2 acre "farm" out in the middle of nowhere to retire on mainly because property taxes in Iowa City are rising 6% a year. I also want a place to stretch my legs a bit and not be concerned about ordinance's, building permits, and neighbors.
I don't plan on raising allot of animals, or growing a big garden.. I just need a tractor to mow the property, move snow etc.
I do plan on moving the mobile home to the NW corner of the property to make room to build my dream garage/house sometime in the next ten years before I retire.. It would be a plus if my new tractor was capable of slowly leveling my hill top property to make it more drive-able before the construction begins.
How big of a tractor (hp) would you suggest I look for to do the three things (mowing, snow, ground leveling) I mentioned?
Thanks!
