hi, i am a new member. i grew up on a 6 acre truck farm in michigan with a appropriately blue ford 2000 10 spd. i have just moved to a 2.9 acre lot in the woods with an acre to mow, newly planted small garden, and 1/4 mile long drive way. i am plotting to buy a tractor that will clear the drive of snow, mow the lawn, and haul whatever. i want something with easy to change implements that i can store in a shed and low maintenance. if anyone has found the best choice i would love advice. i joined to read about tractors, i loved mine when i grew up and miss it. probably a scut but i wonder about hybrid vehicles as well. happy for input.
