Hey guys i'm pretty new to the forum, farming and tractors. My dad bought a 2013 Workmaster 45 2wd tractor with 50 hrs a few months ago when we bought the farm, and we've recently acquired a boarder with 4 horses in addition to our 2. We've decided we would like to have loader, but can't decide if we should sell this tractor and buy a older, heavier one, with more hours, and get an atv to keep hours down and save fuel or just put one on the tractor we have. We have 37 acres and would probably like to start baling hay, so downsizing to a smaller 4wd isn't really an option, plus he's like anti 4wd. So the questions are 1) Will i be able to get traction if i put one on the Workmaster 2) If i have 16k capital, what would be the best way to set up our fleet? We would like to possibly like to run 9-10 head of cattle in the near future, and we don't have a truck yet, just a soccer mom suv. 3) If i should put one on the Workmaster, what all do i do and how much will it cost 4) does it make sense to sell the new tractor to get an older one with more hours and a loader for the same price (about 12k) and buy an atv to do the small stuff to keep hours off the tractor and save fuel 4) what all do you guys do with your loader?
