Is the 3E series too large for 1 acre?

[crashz]

I have an equivalent sized machine for my 2.5 acres. Its not too big, but its a lot of money when you have a fixer upper home. Something to consider. OTOH - less time doing chores on the tractor means more time working on the house.

This would include tilling a 900 to 1000 square foot garden, regrading front and back yards, grading and maintaining a 300 foot private road that sees a fair amount of vehicle traffic to include dump trucks. My thought process is for the price of a fully loaded 1025r I can buy a more capable (in terms of loader capacity and ground engaging activities) tractor like the 3e models.

I think it is a good plan.

Discussion here is interesting, but the OP apparently got their answer within a few minutes of the original post.
That was just before noon 12 days ago.

Check out Tractor Time With Tim on YouTube. He uses (or used, I think he upgraded to a 30 series) a 1025R in a lot of his videos. It's a pretty impressive little tractor. I have been tempted to trade my 3005 for a 2025 or a 3032 but it's more of a "I WANT it, not a I NEED it thing.
