Firstly, I have forgotten my forum handle and password so when I got back up to speed, it seems I have a new forum handle. Old one was burr or something close to that.
I have finally found and purchased a tractor that fits my needs. I have been hunting (mainly thru TractorHouse) since before the virus and price increases and inventory shortages, and wondered if I ever would be able to afford a good useful worker tractor for my 11 acre wooded lot. I have been renting equipment to get me thru these times and I do not like renting. This is my third tractor and the second should have filled the needs (for good) for property maintenance ect but it was stolen.
I am a member here for a good while, mostly reading and learning than posting. This site is highly valuable to a starter or less experienced user. It seems a little more regional than my area but there are some deep south contributors with very similar situations also. And I appreciate it all. (for instance, I cannot imagine using a tractor to push snow!)
My purchase is a 2002 JD 5105 with FEL. and when I figure out attaching a photo, I'll post. A just about perfect fit for the needs of driveway, small food plots, collecting dead or downed trees and general clean-up that has been too much for a now 67yo to manage by hand. I'm tickled.
I plan to feed questions about this unit here in the very near future and thanks ...
